Siem Reap

Well we were back on the bus at 8am this morning…this time heading for Siem Reap. We were on a limousine bus….it was as far from a limousine as I could imagine. It wasn’t the most comfortable of buses but I shouldn’t complain either as it wasn’t that bad! So it was another 6 hours on the bus and we arrived in Siem Reap. We were expecting our tour guide to meet us at the bus station but we couldn’t see him or anyone with my name on a board so we ended up getting on another bus and then a tuk tuk to get to our hotel. They called our tour guide who was still waiting for us and he came and introduced himself to us at the hotel. We headed straight into town…a free Tuk Tuk ride in by the hotel and went to a photo gallery that had some beautiful photos of Cambodia. We then headed into the night market but as it was only 5pm it wasn’t really open yet. We had a cocktail at The Island Bar and then headed elsewhere to find some food! We were starving! We found a bar called Ankor What? Bar and I convinced Rudi to order a cocktail but it was no ordinary cocktail it was a jug! So we got a jug each and a free t-shirt! Mine was awesome…loved it but Rudi didn’t enjoy his at all and I did taste it, it wasn’t very nice! The bar is having an Australia Day party so we might head back there! We headed across the road and there was a restaurant that also had a traditional dance show so we had some dinner and enjoyed the show. I ordered “local beef” and Im not too sure what I ate but it was the toughest steak I have ever eaten! I am hoping it was buffalo! We then headed back towards the market where they had lots of massage places and fish massages. We braved a fish massage and stuck our feet in a big pondy thing and the fish swarmed on our feet. After a little while they weren’t interested in Rudi or anyone else in there…just me! Hehe! Disgusting really! It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t nice! We are now back at the hotel and off to sleep as we have an early start with our guide tomorrow to go and see the Angkor Temples!
