Siem Reap

A short post as I'm majorly tired and the Merseyside Derby is adding to my desire to go to sleep.

So after the long flight to Singapore and then the 2 hour hop to Siem Reap I got a nice big Cambodian visa in my passport (it takes up a whole page). I got a taxi to my hotel and had the big sell on hiring the driver for a whole day to take me around Angkor Wat. I caved in and agreed on a 8am start tomorrow and a $25 fee for the day!

It is hot here. 35+ degrees hot. I spent the afternoon slowly walking around the centre of Siem Reap - lots of water consumed and turned in to sweat. I did a small loop and ended up on Pub Street. Lots of bars and restaurants - I stopped at the Warehouse for few draught Cambodia beers.

I was in need of something more powerful to cool me off. So it was back to my hotel for a quick dip in the pool.

In the evening it was back to the Pub Street area for a Khmer meal and then a couple more beers whilst watching the football. The Khmer meal was coconut rich (as well as there being a lot of it), so I was struggling to drink my beer.

I left the bar I was in at halftime and walked back to my hotel.

Time for bed now, and hopefully some decent sleep before temple overload tomorrow!
