Mekong River Day 1 (Phnom Penh, Cambodia): We’re Here!


Today we started our journey along the Mekong River.

Our travel day was pretty ordinary. The first leg of our trip was San Francisco, the next was to Taipei then we finally arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

We were the first ones on the ship so we had the ship to ourselves for a few hours. The plane the other passengers were on was delayed and they won’t be in until early evening. We later encountered a couple of other passengers that had arrived last night. They had already been around the area a few times.

The ship we’re on is a very small river boat. There are only 18 rooms! Word has it that there’s only 26 people traveling with us on this trip.

We boarded the boat, unpacked, ate lunch and headed out to explore the port. Most of the businesses here are restaurants, gift shops, corner stores and tours. We didn’t spend much time out and about because it started raining. So it was back to the ship for us.

We had some downtime because our little mini adventure was short and the rest of our tour group’s flight was delayed so we explored our little ship and lounged around for a bit. When the rest of us finally arrived our tour director briefed us on upcoming activities, we had dinner and then it was off to bed.

I’m liking how easy and laid back this trip is so far.
