Back to Phnom Penh

Monday 15th October

We got an early bus from Siem Reap back to Phnom Penh. We went straight to the embassy to collect our temporary passports but they were not ready, so we had to spend another day and night in Phnom Penh.

Tuesday 16th October

We collected our passports and were robbed for what we hoped was the final time in Cambodia - by the British state, who charge $150 for a one-year temporary passport. Scandalous. Then we had to pay $40 each for exit visas (twice the price of normal visas).

The highlight of today was seeing an elephant sauntering along the road! He was so enormous, as elephants tend to be; just cruising on down the main street in Phnom Penh. It was an amazing sight and made our extra couple of days in Phnom Penh worthwhile!
