Day 1- Is Cambodia Ready For MAD4Cambodia Team?

 Today the mad4cambodia team arrived into Phnom Penh in a flurry off tuk tuks overloaded with suitcases. It was a day of acclimatisation to the sights and smells of Cambodia and in particular the dreaded "crossing of the road". We soon got the hang of it as our fearless leader Lloyd Plane bravely strode out amid headlights and horns with the team following behind like baby chickens. The hotel we are staying is surprisingly nice although there has been the occasional flooding of the bathroom and bed configuration mishap. However it is nice and close to the markets which we managed to quickly view before it closed. Our team leader, Troy, took us out to an amazing dinner to help acquaint ourselves with the local food. By the look of happiness on everyone's faces as plates of curries cooked in hollowed out coconuts and mock tails made of freshly squeezed juices, it was a huge success. A quick massage and ice cream finalised day one of what we believe will be an epic tour!
