Phnom Penh 22 Oct

Today was a day for visiting all the major sites in central Phnom Penh. 

First the Royal Palace - could not see into many rooms (amd then no interior photos were allowed), but the Palace buildings and gardens were beautiful.  Also saw the Silver Pagoda (named as the floor is a sliver colour). 

Then I saw the outside of the Wat Botum, before I retraced my steps back to the national Museum where there were lots of exhibits set in a lovely building set around a very pretty central set of water gardens. 

Then back to the hostel including seeing this on the street Barber not far from the National Museum. 

Finally a quick walk to the Wat Phnom just north of the hostel.  The elephant which I saw on the streets a couple of days ago was available to ride in the grouds of the Wat Phnom. 










Tomorrow we leave at 07:30 for Siem Reap.  Hopefully we should arrive in time to see the Rugby final.
