The tuk tuk driver Tony arrived promptly at my hotel. He was very attentive to what I want to see in Phnom Penh. He drives me to all the places that were on the agenda and even shows me certain places that tourists do not see like selling dog and crocodile meats on the road side. Even though the site is not nice but it was an experience as I have never seen this type of stuff before. Whilst we were waiting for the museum to open during the lunch break he brought me to the Russian market which was bustling with activities. I even had an hour of blindman massage which was fantastic. What an experience. Thank you for making my one day solo private tour memorable.

タクシーをチャーターしてキリングフィールド→ワットタプローム→トンレバティ湖→プノンチソールと回りました。
山の上に寺院を見つけた時は、あの山に登るのかと焦りましたが、いざ登ってみると400段と言われる階段はそれほどつらくなくあっという間に山頂に着きました。あっという間とはいえ日差しは強く物凄く暑いので、山頂についた時は風に吹かれてとても気持ち良かったです。
寺院は壊れかけていますが中を見学出来ました。タプロームのように細かい装飾があるわけではないですが個人的には好きなタイプの遺跡でした。
帰りは直接市内に向かいましたが、日曜日の夕方ということでずいぶん渋滞していて２時間半くらいかかりました。
とてもいい所ですが、この１ヶ所だけではもったいない感じなのでいくつか巡る中に組み込むといいと思います。
