Phnom Penh Lake

Phnom Penh Lake

I know I will be accused of a terrible photoshop job here but believe me, the lake in Phnom Penh is green.

This is The Jolly Frog Backpackers Inn on the lake in Phnom Penh and it was one of the nicest places we stayed whilst travelling. It wasn't anything special but for US$5 a night for a double room you don't expect the Ritz. Neither do you expect the friendliest people imaginable, great food, immense fun, almighty storms and to meet awesome people like AJ with whom we then travelled for the next fortnight.

The lake is green due to the algae that live in it although since the Chinese have bought it and are filling it in I think most of the green is now a murky brown due to the disturbances and the sand they have decided to fill it with. It is very sad that such a fantastic scene will not be here any more but I feel priviledged to have seen it, to have stayed in such a lovely guesthouse and to have eaten some damn fine food in the riotous streets surrounding this place.
