85 km - Total so far: 1,175 km
I had an annoying headwind all day today. Right in my face, and it kept getting stronger all the way till I came in to Phnom Penh proper.
I have a handheld GPS mounted on the handlebar. Since I had been once before in Phnom Penh, a few years ago on a boat and bus trip, I had a few waypoints stored in the GPS. It is often hard to locate where on the map I am. With the exception of the touristy streets downtown there are only very few street signs saying the name of it. The streets seemed to be going either NW or NE when I wanted to go straight North. I kept asking for Monivong Blvd and was sent here and there, probably coming closer all the time but frustrating nevertheless not being able to home right in.
Eventually I reached the house where King GH was. I cycled right in only to realise that this was now someones private home. King had moved and I never bothered finding out to where. It was not that good anyway. Eventually I got a room at Royal GH. Big room, hot water, fridge, 13$. Very nice. Several other cyclists stay here too.
