Day 3

Hi everyone,
In our blog entry, we are going to inform you all about our adventures from last night and today!
Last night, after a scrumptious dinner, we set foot towards the night market to discover a world of exciting shopping and bargaining.
We split into small groups and explored the market area. We saw Cambodian souvenirs, clothing such as gypsy pants that are much adored by all of us! We also found a huge range of sunglasses, bags, hats, artwork. There were also massage places where you could have your feet nibbled and massaged by tiny fish! (Our teachers discouraged us from this Cambodian specialty)
Once we had finished exploring the market area, we travelled back to the hotel via tuk-tuks. It was a short but thrilling ride and we all want to journey on them again!
Today, we headed out for a busy day of hard work but it most definitely worth it!
When we arrived, we finished hammering nails into the floor boards and put up the interior and exterior walls. Others began to start planting mango trees, which was harder than it sounds!
By the end of the day, we were able to plant a total of 90 mango trees! This was a huge achievement for us and we hope that the two families enjoy these beautiful new trees.
We then played with the children belonging to the families. They were full of energy and thoroughly enjoyed our company. We ran around, sang songs, gave the children piggy-back rides and shared lots of laughter.
After a day of hard work, we returned to the hotel to swim, relax and use the wifi (for the blog!)

Signing off for today from your favourite bloggers,
