Welcome to Phnom Penh!
After Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor, arriving in the hustle and bustle of the city was a bit of a shock! But we soon settled in and you'll see from the photos what a lovely place it is.
I'll post another set of photos of the temples and the Royal Palace in about a month, when I get back from a trip to the UK. I hope you enjoy your walk around Phnom Penh! Alan
