Today has been a fair bit cooler than usual, which is a refreshing change from the hot and humid weather! It rained first thing and has been cloudy for the whole day. Ahhh, so nice to be cold after sweating so much everyday!
We've spent most of the day enjoying the local food. We found what look like biscuits, with interesting coloured swirls, that we have never seen before. All the locals were stocking up so we grabbed a bag! They were really good...
We visited a temple which seemed to be a university for Buddhist monks. We looked around the town between showers and generally relaxed! There is usually a huge water festival starting tomorrow but due to the earlier flooding in Cambodia, the Government have cancelled it. It seems that people will still get a few days holiday and there is a stage being set up for a party tomorrow night!
Most of the tourist boats have left town so the place seems really quiet and kinda nice! We enjoyed spending the evening in a local restautant which is helping those less fortunate train in catering. Some of the money they make goes to help others too.
