The Kingdom of Cambodia

This has been a long long day. I got into bed last night at about 11pm but the hotel which has been noisywas even more a mess and there was something running like a vibrating engine that kept me awake for a long time. I did sleep, not sure my roommate did. The temp in the room kept jumping from 40 to 400 so it was blanket off and on. 4:30 came early and we packed, met and raced to the airport. Do we pay 600 bhat.. don't we... what is it to get to Cambodia.. how were why... none of us have been here.. so.. it is a good time to Zen. We gave in our passports and then stood as they called out our name.. Bonita is a little different in Cambodian. We got to our hotel which is very nice.. (warm water is nice) http://www.auberge-mont-royal.com/ and quickly gathered in our bus for lunch. I had a favorite - stir fried morning glory...but it was very mild. Oh I did exchange money and got 158,000 bills for my $40. They prefer am $.so everyone says.. sell you for $1. After lunch... we toured three ruin areas. Lordy there is a lot of rocks. Each was different but the last one.. you could climb mount olympus and then some. the steps were about 3-4 inches wide (makes Joe/Cheryl's steps look wide).. anyway there were about 10 landings of these steps.. and I forgot to tell you the lift was a foot to 1.5 feet. Not up to US code. There were many many japanese folks that ran up and down... hey this old girl made it.. all beit on my hands and knees.. on occasion. The sunset was great but I left a little early so I would not be the last one down... and I wasn't. There are thousands that go up and down.. dust everywhere.. We were sad our other yoga buds were not there.. but very glad Anne wasn't or she would have been in the bus. It was a freight but great. We got back to the hotel late and filthy.. I am now in the lobby with my barefeet... going to eat.. have a beer.. and pass out. Oh.. it was hot.. like hot. we were sticky and hot and tired...but still laughing ... more tomorrow... b.
