We then headed into town to check into our room at the hotel, The Monica Angkor Hotel.
This was a very nice place at around $40 per night including breakfast. This place set the owner back a bit. It was rich in deep woods reminiscent of the Cocoa Bolo found in Costa Rica, and was quite luxurious.
The only downsides were that you had to stick your key card into a slot to keep the power on, so we had to take our keys off the card/ring so that the air conditioning and refrigerator would continue running while we were out for the night.

Here are pics of the hotel.
We also got a little bit of wireless signal if we placed our laptops next to the window of the room.
We went out to eat and see what action was available. We went to eat at the Foreign Correspondence’ Club. This is a really nice place. There is one in Phnom Penh on the Mekong River BTW. We had an excellent meal. Our driver then took us the “club” street. We walked the street, but very quickly determined that these were regular clubs and restaurants. After a better explanation of the type of “action” that we were seeking, he took us to a massage parlor called “Hollywood’s”. Here we found a variety of sexy babes in a fish bowl. Now we’re cookin’ we thought. We selected our girls and headed back to the room.
Here is where the Cambodia problem reared it’s ugly head. The beautiful young thing, who was a walking sex drippin’ machine, from Vietnam, would not kiss, not give head and showed all the excitement of a brick of Tofu. I decided to make her earn her $15 by pounding her straight through the mattress, floorboards and concrete slab. After I nutted, I went back to the lobby where I found that Bahtman had suffered the same experience. We were not amused. We returned to the hotel exhausted and annoyed. We had only received 3 or 4 hours of sleep the night before and had put in about 20 miles on foot already this day, so we just turned in and called it a day.
The beds in these rooms were extra firm, but as tired as I was I slept fine anyway.
It was one long day to say the least!
