Any questions? |
Started wit a swim at The Pnomeroonk Hotel and
Resort.
|
 |
The pool at The hotel was very small, only 9 meters long. Martin swam 120 laps or 980
meters. Good enough. Martin is plugging his ears with silicone plugs before swimming. |
 |
 |
The pool area was nice enough. Martin in The drink. Only one oTher couple There. |
 |

Ground leveled and ready for concrete. Lai's broTher is one of many doing The job. |

Work in progress. Hard at cementing The place. Pouring The concrete is hard work. |
 |
 |
Leveling The concrete is precision
work. The final result of The day. |
 |
 |
Dec 11th,
gone swimming and a new barbeque. On The way to The pool, Lai picked up some drinking water at a local dispenser. The inside of The hotel is impressive, but There are very few customers There. |
