My last blog update for today, I promise. I have many more pictures to add this week from my short trip to Phnom Penh.
The photos below are shots of the Tonle Sap from the restaurant where I had breakfast. The Tonle Sap flows into the Mekong River at this point.

Ah. Technically, that’s the Tonle Sap River joining the Mekong River. The Tonle Sap itself is a ways off from Phnom Penh:

Which is a good thing–the Tonle Sap can grow to 10x it’s dry season size during the monsoons, which would pretty much wipe out Pnnom Penh. 🙂
