Phnom Penh

The 1st of May we took a bus at 7:30am from Siem Riep to Phnom Penh, the trip took around 5 hours, the bus was pretty basic, the ac didn't work so good and we had backseats, which means more hot, on the bus we were more or less the only tourists. Once we arrived to Phnom Penh we had a guy waiting for us, friend of our driver in Siem Riep, to take us to a guesthouse, Royal Guesthouse 8dollars night, but once we got there I found out that I had left my medicine on the bus, for the allergy, so after a long call from the receptionist girl we managed to get to the bus station and picked it up. That afternoon we just went around and ate a nice dinner.
Next day we made a deal with a tuk tuk driver to take us to a few different places for 10 dollars, pretty good.
The first place was the Killing Fields, a place where many many people were killed by Pol Pot soldiers. A horrible place were they keep like a glass house full of skulls from 17000 of them. You need to be prepared for this.
After we went to the russian market, another market full of artifacts, clothes... we bought some nice chopsticks.
Then we went to S-21, a primary school that became a prison, were Pol Pot kept many people, tortured and then killed, some of them were sent to the Killing Fields, it was really aweful.
Then we visited a pagoda, or temple and after all this intenst day we decided to come back to the guesthouse. Later we arranged a trip for the next day to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
P.s.: we are having some problems with putting up pictures, as soon as we can we will do it.
El 1de Mayo cogimos un autobus a las 7:30am desde Siem Riep a Phnom Penh, el viaje duro como unas 5 horas, el autobus era bastante basico y el aire acondicionado no funcionaba muy bien y encima nos dieron asientos en la parte de atras lo que significa mas calor, en este autobus eramos casi los unicos turistas. Una vez llegamos a Phnom Penh un chico estaba esperandonos, amigo del conductor de tuk tuk de Siem Riep, para llevarnos a un hostal, Hostal Royal 8dolares la noche (6,5euros), pero una vez alli me di cuenta de que habia dejado la medicina de la alergia en el autobus. Despues de una llamada interminable que hizo la recepcionista del hostal conseguimos llegar hasta la estacion de autobuses y recogerla. Esa tarde dimos una vuelta por la zona y cenamos una comida deliciosa.
Al dia siguiente hicimos un trato con un conductor de tuk tuk para que nos llevara a diversos sitios por 10 dolares todo el dia (7euros), bastante bien.
Primero fuimos a los Killing Fiels, o campos de esterminio, un sitio donde mucha mucha gente fue matada a manos de los soldados de Pol Pot. Un sitio horrible donde conservan 17000 esqueletos en una casa con paredes de cristal.Tienes que estar preparado para esto.
Luego fuimos al mercado Ruso, un mercado lleno de objetos hechos a mano, ropa ..., compramos unos bonitos palillos.
Despues fuimos a la S-21, una escuela de primaria convertida en prision por Pol Pot donde encerro a mucha gente para torturar y luego matarla, muchos de ellos fueron llevados a los Killing Fiels, campos de esterminio, fue horrible.
Luego fuimos a una pagoda o templo y por ultimo despues de un dia super intenso decidimos volver al hostal. Esa tarde compramos unos billetes de autobus para Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
P.s.: Estamos teniendo algunos problemas en poner fotos, en cuanto podamos lo haremos.
