An early bus back to Phnom Penh and 3.5 hours later, we arrived! And, judging by the traffic, everyone else had to! We were going to try and head straight out on a bus to Kratie that afternoon but the only bus going there was far from where we were. We took a tuk tuk and the driver phoned 'someone' to find out where the bus left from. We drove for ages across the city and eventually found the little mini bus to Kratie. Only problem was the first price was $15, which is a lot for a bus in Cambodia! After discussion, the price dropped to $10, then $8...
Next problem, the mini bus was packed out! After the customers had kindly rearranged themselves, there was 1 seat free but no leg room at all! The driver seemed to be getting a little flustered and seemed fairly amazed that 2 people and all of their bags couldn't fit on 1 seat with nowhere to put your legs! After careful consideration and the thought of the 6 hour journey we gave up. We will go on a nice big air-con bus for an extra couple of dollars in the morning.
Found a hostel, ate and now time for bed!
