My favorite things in one day! First, a visit to an enormous food market, with every kind of fish/seafood and then every kind of fruit and vegetable. Really fun! First, all the fish are still alive, including the eels and yes, the frogs. Shrimp actually jumped out of their container. We walked past baskets of snails and cockles, moved on to tables of every part of the pig, saw some very dispirited chickens (they knew their time had come), and perused the wares of dozens of vendors of vegetables and fruits. We even saw one of kitchen staff from our boat buying custard apples and snakehead fish.
We traveled next to the Lovers’ House, which is the site of an unrequited love affair between a Chinese man and a Vietnamese woman – apparently considered very romantic.
We went off to a beautiful plant nursery afterwards and enjoyed walking among the thousands of plants and flowers.
After returning to the boat, we began the cruise to Phnom Penh.
