[Cambodia] Day 1: We finally made it!

We finally made it! After months of planning and preparation, our trip to Cambodia has become a reality at last. The long waits and lack of sleep as we made our way to Cambodia has already proven well worth the wait on the very first day.

​Today, after being picked up by a lovely tour guide, Sam, we had our first encounter with the crazy roads and traffic of Cambodia. As stressful as it was to find a place to eat for lunch, nearly being hit by Tuk-Tuks, cars and motorbikes numerous times, we made it safely to a café and enjoyed getting to know each other further. 
 
Coming back to check into our hotel, we treated ourselves to a relaxing afternoon of swimming in the pool and chilling out. After finding a little more energy, we were able to plan out the rest of the week and go to an amazing dinner together. This was our first taste of traditional Cambodian food and it was delicious! 
It was a great, though tiring first day and we are really looking forward to the exciting and busy weeks ahead.
