We were awoken around 5.30 by the continuation of memorial rights for the hotel owner - with chanting being broadcast by loud speaker.
After breakfast it was back past the hotel lobby, full of monks and mourners on to the hot and cramped Russian Market for some last day clothes and souvenir shopping.
From there we went to an air conditioned shopping mall, where Liz, Ellie and Katherine were left to get their nails done, while Jim, Joe and Nic found a bakery to buy a birthday cake with an agreement to meet later at the hotel pool.
We enjoyed our swim at the hotel pool (keeping an eye via the Ipad of England thrashing Australia at cricket and getting poised to regain the ashes.
We ate birthday cake by the roof top pool, just as the skies started to darken and we were treated to a massive electrical storm over Phnom Penh. Bit by bit the wind, as happens whipped up to gail force before the first spots of rain meant it was time for run for it.
In the evening we ate out locally before coming back to pack.
