Now Here is Nowhere
Phnom Penh (again) Dec 29
4 hours coach back to Phnom (hill) Penh (gals name). Capital of Cambodia (nee Kampuchea) + probably the flatest city in the World (which obviously accounts for the name) 'cept for a small bump that protrudes slightly higher than the surrounding acreage. Apparently 'lady' Penh (for it was she) tripped over said mound & found 4 statues of Buddha that just happened to be lying there & this AMAZING occurence led the yokels to build a temple.....call it Wat Phnom + many settlers made the pilgrimage there and stayed. The rest, as they say, is history.
