In the morning after just resting up for the night and doing nothing else really besides eat and turn on the news, I make my way down stairs a bit before 7am to get my bus. When I go to pay, he tells shakes his head like he's telling me I don't have to. Walking away it dawns on me that with the language barrier he was unable to figure out whether I was buying a bus ticket or just asking about bus times. So all I did last night was pay for my room early, over paid actually, but whatever I had to get make sure I got on the bus. The 7am departure turned into 8am anyway so rushing was pointless but I got to sit and people watch as the station is in the center of the small town. I had all intenions of heading to Kompong Chhnang, a stop halfway to Phnom Penh, but knew I had the option to go all the way to Phnom penh if I wanted. 

    Really hungry but with little options I grabbed bread and sticky rice to hold me over. The ride was interesting as I had a teenage cambodian girl next to me curled up in her seat nad helf on mine just not caring at all whether she was everywhere as long as she was comortable. I was half asleep until it was time to drop people off and I'd get out and stretch anyway so it didn't matter but was quite amusing. Maybe 4 hours into a ride I knew was roughly 5 to Phnom Penh I realized that the last town we passed was my stop and I was definately going to the capital. This was OK however since I had a feeling due to being tired I would miss it, and in that case was going to extend my visa and relax a few days in Phom Penh. I went to Okay Guesthouse again where I was remembered and got a cheap room for the next 3 nights. Even better they do visa runs for you to the immigration office so I don't even have to do it on my own which was great. Going to stay in Cambodia until I feel I'm ready to go. In no real rush to get to Vietnam and Malaysia is raining until March. Plus I've really grown to love cambodia,  even minus my temple addiction I'd stay here longer. Planning a possible week in the mountains in the east, cambodia's last frontier and there version of the wild west....

     Spending tomorrow ( 26th ) resting up and getting some supplies from the market. Also doing this lovely blog and catching up on things.....
