On the way to Phnom Penh

We left Siem Reap this morning and decided to take the boat to Phnom Penh - a little 5 to 6 hour jaunt down the Tonle Sap.  It had a rather comedy start when a pick up turned up to pick us up and take us to the "port" and it was somewhat lacking in spare space.  The driver was at his innovative best - the first suggestion was that we just jump on.  We countered this with the rather obvious problem that there wasn't any space.  Undeterred, he came up with Plan B - sit on top of the cab.  He couldn't quite fathom why this wasn't that enticing a prospect - but when 10 people told him "no, that's dangerous", he decided that perhaps another vehicle was required.  The one he found was packed to the gills too, but at least we could squeeze inside it, rather than on top of it.
