Oh when will impulsive, sensation-seeking me ever learn?!
After a quiet, cool dinner and stroll around Toul Kork, I was BORED! It wasn’t enough. So I decided to take a night ride into the city to photograph the beautiful KNY lights and decorations at Wat Phnom. Toul Kork was so quiet that I expected the wat to be quiet after 9 pm too. But I was wrong….Mayhem!
Water fights on all the streets surrounding Wat Phnom. And then, out of nowhere, came a storm! Whirlwinds with sand, dirt and rain flying all around, stinging my eyes while I was in the tuk tuk. After circling the area, I never made it to Wat Phnom. Sheepishly asked the driver to take me back home.
And I felt terrible for getting him caught up in the mayhem and storm. He was a nice, old man with a beat-up tuk tuk, working over Khmer New Year. 💔
I’m now home, without any pics of Wat Phnom. But at least I have these pics from Toul Kork. I think I’ll retire for the night with my books in bed. But tomorrow is another day! 😉
