Day 683 - Welcome Rita!!!

Our day started early as we wanted to get as much done before the worst of the heat arrives. Nicole and Sam are heading to Vietnam in a couple of weeks, so we all wandered down to the Embassy (stopping off for smoothies, coffee and brekky on the way), and then headed to the Psar Tuol Tom Pong (the Russian Market). Here we squeezed down the product-lined aisles and bargained ourselves into new sunnies (pair number 6 for Adam) and a few souvenirs for home.
At 2pm we negotiated a tuk-tuk ride out to the airport to meet our Portuguese friend Rita who arrived today after leaving Portugal a couple of days ago. We met Rita in November as we adlibed our way along the Annapurna circuit of Nepal. Even though we only met her for a few days, we instantly realised that she was a wonderful person, and so we were incredibly stoked to get an email from her a few months ago telling us she was coming over to Asia to travel with us. We feel privileged to have her join the adlibing team. From now on the Adlibing Asia crew is a threesome - though with Sam and Nicole still part of the team we might as well get a uniform!!!

We made it back from the airport just before the afternoon storm that's becoming a daily occurrence, and enjoyed catching up with Rita over a beer. We enjoyed the evening doing nothing much, and with all the time in the word to do it.
Dinner was more Indian with great friends, and a little planning for a big sightseeing day tomorrow.

Adlibing it with one more.
