Today was a little bit slow, because it's some sort of national day, and a lot of things were closed, but i didn't let it slow me down!
I started out with a walk around the streets of Phnom Penh, near my hostel. I really like it here. It's quite gritty, but it's really very pretty, and the people are all quite lovely.
My walk landed me at the Independence Monument, a symbol of Cambodia's freedom from France. There wasn't much to do there, but it was cool to see.
From there, I headed to Wat Botum. A temple not on many lists, but one I just had to see, because of it's name, and the fact that I am a child.
The people inside the temple were all lovely and really friendly, as I don't think they get many tourists and visitors.
Sadly, the Royal Palace was closed, so I will have to go back another day, but the National Museum was open, and it was beautiful.
The building itself was almost more impressive than the things inside, even though some of them were from around the 5th century, and genuinely amazing.
Tomorrow, the killing fields xx
