Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, May 30, 2014: The Hotel Pool, Cambodia

It is pretty much what most of us will see on a daily basis if we are travelling in a warm climate. It is the life saver at the end of a hot dusty day our on the road. It is the sight that we dream of whilst packed into a sweaty bus when the air con seems to have stopped working. It is the little bit of heaven to plunge into at the end of a busy long travelling day. It is that guilty pleasure to wallow in on a sunny day and if there is a floating bar too, well…..

I give you a toast to the humble “Hotel Swimming Pool”!! (This one seemed a bit green but I was assured that it was the latest batch of chemicals just settling down….)
