Immediately after reboarding, our ship cast off to take us to Phnom Penh. Here we lined up to ride our own personal cyclos to the Royal Palace. Our guide called our vehicles rickshaws. Whatever the correct name, they were wonderful. On our three-wheeled bicycles we were scooting between and around all of the other traffic on extremely busy city streets until we arrived at the Royal Palace.

Before we finished our tour, the skies opened up and it started to pour. After half on hour or so we decided that we simply had to move on. Donning heavy raincoats, we climbed into our cyclos. On some of the roads the water was a foot or more deep, but the traffic just kept moving on. It was a wonderful ride and a great adventure.
