Most of us woke up around 5:30 when the kids and fathers in our family got ready for school and work. We got up to watch the sunrise at around 5:45 and it rose around 6:00. We then had to pack away our things and return the mats, mozzie nets and sarongs. After saying goodbye to the kids and families (which was hard because we were all very sad to leave them) we each got given $5 to spend when we went for breakfast. We then drove back towards the city centre to eat at Brown’s Coffee. Most of us got a drink and a pastry and we were all surprised how much we could get for under $5. We then got back in the bus and started our four-hour bus ride to lunch. Lunch was at a riverside pizzeria called Lazy Mekong Daze. The pizza was delicious and we all happily stuffed ourselves. From there we recommenced our trip to our final destination – the Mekong Dolphin hotel. We all settled into our rooms, had showers or did some washing and then head out to Le Tonle for a buffet-style dinner. After dinner, we went for a short night walk along the Mekong river where we saw the local khmer people dancing and enjoying the night. We then came back to the hotel and got ready for bed preparing for the next day.
