Bo, our tour leader and his sister who was so happy to see her big brother again. As a thank you we thought it appropriate to give his mum some money to support her favourite charity in the city.

His family have a silk screen printing business so Irene and I got tshirts emblazoned with:

Lorraine and Irene's Gap Adventure

2009

Our tour leader took us to his mother's home in Phnom Penh where we were treated to a delicious typical Cambodian dinner. Many members of his family were involved in preparing and serving the food.

After dinner we all went for cocktails in a lovely bar then a few of us took the scenic route back to the hotel.
