Feeling full of energy and non-throbbing limbs, we finally decided to tackle the immense problem of visiting the post office to get shot of our post cards that have been decorating the writing desk and making us feel guiltier by the day.
Cor, it went so smoothly that I thought I must have been dreaming.
A tuk-tuk ride at $2.00 and 10 odd minutes later we arrived at the capital's only post office and walked up the main steps into quite a grand old hall. Numerous counter positions stretched along the far wall with big, clear signs indicating which service they offered and there it was, "stamps" with only one person in front of us.
Surely it couldn't be this easy?
Whilst we waited we saw further posters with relevant information (and in English) advising us that post card stamps were 3 900 Riel (~50 cents {USD}) and that collection for mainland Europe was every Monday and Wednesday.
Having digested that, another counter position opened up ahead of us and we were beckoned over by a lovely lady with a beaming smile and a perfect "how can I help you?"
10 stamps later we'd stuck them on, shoved them through the letter box (again, the only place to post mail; we haven't seen any post boxes around town) and our mission was complete without even breaking sweat.
What a great start to the day. :0D
