Day 48 - Phnom Penh

Stomach still ill. bleah. N&S had a late morning, so got some Internetting done. Went to Nat. Museum then - large collection from Khmer kingdoms, little else. Paid $1 for camera pass, but wasn't allowed take photos except in the garden. Sham! Then the Royal Palace - lots of temples, some child monks, all in saffron. It's odd - children of maybe nine or ten, already monks. Apparently it is not a life-long vocation, but something many men take up for a couple of years and then resume normal life.

The rain is pouring again. Came back to the hostel at 7pm, could've sworn it was 10pm. Dinner in the Mad Monkey, watched the sun set and some bats flit about. Lightning again tonight too.
