Day 51: Phnom Pehn, Cambodia: Moto!

10AM: Got into town on a sleeper bus. Found a good, cheap hotel for 6USD. Hired a moto for 14USD to drive me around to the Killing Fields, Wat Phnom, and the Royal Palace.

The Killing Fields are where Pol Pot of the Khmer Rouge executed 1000s of Cambodians and dropped them in mass graves in the '70s.

The Royal Palace was originally from around the 13th century, but was mostly rebuilt during the 19th. Pretty epic, though!
