Wednesday - Feb 24 - Lunch at the Rex Hotel




The Rex hotel gained fame during the American Vietnam War as a planning center and watering hole for the US and ally personnel ...diplomats, military and news organizations. It is often featured in novels written about this era.

Today, the Rex is a 5* hotel. Four of us went to the roof garden for lunch - 1 beer and a Rex Burger cost a total of $18 US...quite a treat. Photos show the outside and roof garden restaurant.


Tomorrow at 8 AM we board a public bus that will take us to the the Cambodian capital of Phom Phen. Next time we meet, I'll be in Cambodia with only six days left in our trip...cheerio...Tom
