We wanted to explore some more of the centre of Psquared, so it was bright and early out of bed (at 8am), coffee on the balcony and then straight to breakfast. We did really have an issue though, the severe lack of bacon (which they did have yesterday). Hannah nearly went full rampage, but we did have good omelettes and pancakes. 

We did finally get out and got a tuk tuk to the central market. These tuk tuk drivers are really out to take tourists for a ride. We did look on the app on how much it should cost ($1) and his first quote was $3, which isn't a lot but not paying 300% for someone trying to take us for a ride (pun intended). We settled on $2 and off we went. The Central market is in a rather impressive building, built on what used to be a lake created from rainy season run off water. However, as we suspected, it was just another standard market (although they did have exciting things like butterfly knives). So we whipped round rather speedily and went to look around the rest of Phnom Penh.

I'm not sure if we just weren't in the right location, or we've missed something, but the centre of PSquared really didn't look like much. It reminded us of Hanoi, dirty and not really looked after, but without any of the benefits of having shops, cafes and restaurants everywhere. There are a few good places, but didn't really seem to have much there. 

We eventually stopped at a cafe called Feel Good Cafe, which generally considered to be the top cafe and coffee in PSquared. We enjoyed some iced latte's out from under the sun, then headed towards the riverside. This did seem more impressive, with the Royal Palace and various temples looking cool, if a little touristy reminiscent of a seaside town. 

We decided to go back to the hotel to hit the gym and swimming pool and get some lunch before heading out for a sunset cruise along the Mekong river, then somewhere tasty for dinner.

The hotel pick up for the cruise was 16:30, so we went down to reception at 16:25 to wait...and wait...and wait. Finally the tuk tuk turned up at and up we get to get on. We then find out that there was in fact another couple from our hotel in the tuk tuk as well. So the tuk tuk was 15 minutes late and these guys weren't even downstairs or anything. We get in the tuk tuk and they finally come down 10 minutes after that, and promptly chain smoke the whole journey to the river bank. Charming.

Finally we got to the boat, which wasn't quite what we expected. Little less sunset cruise, little more sunset sink. To get on, we had a literal plank of wood to climb up, definitely not sturdy or secure, definitely balanced across a pile of trash. We get on and it's like someones just raided a gardening store for mismatched outdoor furniture. The host came up and told us what was going to happen, making special note that she was the only person (par driver) on board so service would be slow. It definitely wasn't the kind of cruise we expected, but when we got out onto the water it was pretty nice. And there wasn't a cloud in the sky, well except the massive storm cloud in the distance.

We finished that and decided on a place called Harry's for dinner, an American restaurant on the riverside. We both fancied some food that was a little more familiar. It was a nice enough place, but it was not busy at all, considering 7pm on Sunday. We sat down and ordered Jalapeno poppers, potato skins and a couple of steaks and red wine. Starters came out and they were pretty good, nice quality for those kind of bar food. Then we got the steak, which did not meet our expectations. We thought we might possible get a smallish sirloin looking thing. What we got was at least a 2 inch thick fillet that wouldn't have looked out of place at a fancy restaurant. It was a very good steak. We were very happy and very well fed by the end of that meal.
