Got the early bus to battambang, pick up at 7 bus didn't leave until 8 - Asia time Bus ride took 4-5hrs, stopped for lunch but ate nothing Poured with rain when we arrived, tuk tuk guy spotted me on bus as we arrived and chased the bus until we got off. As it was rained, agreed for him to take us to the royal hotel for free. Checked in, staff very friendly, tried to get us to go on tours, instead we went for a walk for lunch. Found a local place called white ro...

We decided that since we had 2 days left on our Angkor pass we'd take a tuk tuk super early to watch sunrise over Angkor Wat. This meant a 04.30 wake up since we were being picked up at 5am. As we were leaving, our irish room mate was just walking in very drunk and very chatty from his night out, hilarious!! Despite us being very sleepy, we definitely had no regrets about having to get up so early. The sunrise over the lake was phenomenal, managed to get some am...

Basically there's isn't much to say today, except for the fact that we are all dying!! 50cent beers seemed like such a good idea last night, not so much this morning.

Decided I'll quit drinking in sympathy. Breakfast was a struggle so we just spent the rest of the day lazing around the...

Saturday was spent visiting the Angkor temples, most peoples sole reason for visiting Cambodia.

We decided we'd get the three day pass at $40 so that we could return another day to view the sunrise. Our first stop was the Bayon temple with its many faces, staring down at you as you walked round the ruins. Althou...

On Friday we had to get up early to catch the bus to Siem Reap. Since most of the day was spent travelling not a lot actually happened. We slept a lot, ate some boney chicken and rice from a street stall when the bus stopped for lunch, jumped back of the bus and read for a bit. Pretty uneventful really. We arrived in Siem Reap at 15.15 and were greeted with a sign saying 'Samantha Bird' by Randy our new tuk tuk driver (who would be our tour guide for next few da...
