We're here!

We are now safely in Chukk, we will be here for two full days of church leader development known as Agenda 1. We are to be out of the guest house by 7am so we can eat breakfast before the teaching begins at 8am.

Today has been a travelling day flying overnight to Hong Kong we spent a couple of hours waiting for our transfer. Feeling a bit thursty we found an excellent water dispenser which gave sterilized drinking water at the temperature you asked it to, so anything from cold to boiling water was just the touch of a button away.

The flight to Phnom Penh was only a couple of hours and we were treated to another meal followed by luxury ice cream. Those of us who did not sleep last night are now quite tired! Everything went smoothly in Phnom Penh airport and thankfully all our baggage arrived at the same time as us.

The rest of the team were assembled to welcome us and it was not long before we were driving south out of the city. The traffic chaos, sights, smells and sounds are now familiar but they are at the same time very different from home!

 

 

When we arrived at Chukk we went straight to a street cafe and ordered dinner. They brought out marinated beef, vegetables, noodles and soup. The beef and vegetables were cooked at our table on a table-top bbq grill sort of thing. Not sure how to describe it so here's a picture:

We are now in our rooms, mine is lovely and has air conditioning so it won't be too hot. Provided I can sleep through the rattle of the machine of course. There is a spectacular thunder and lightning show going on outside the window, we have arrived just at the end of the rainy season. Now to test out the bed...
