Today we slept in! No surprise there! We got up around lunch which was too late to go visiting the temples as planned, better part of the day had gone so we decided to just relax :) had lunch at the guesthouse, they have the most random drinks, instead of my usual strawberry Fanta I had a lychee flavour!!! It was too sweet and syrupy :/
I didn't want to waste a day doing nothing so, by the time the afternoon came round we decided we would go to the museum... It's got all the Buddhas on show and houses all of the reclaimed Angkorian statues from different temples all over Cambodia.
It's weird that you walk into such a modern building in the middle of a rural city! It costs £12.70 each and a dollar to get there in a tuk tuk! They have over a thousand Buddhas, most of them damaged in some way either arms or feet have broken off, the pre-angkorian ones are made from limestone so they preserved quite well but nowadays there made them from wood, so they don't look as good and they chip...
Anyway we spent like almost three hours at the museum, then went back home to get ready and go out to eat :) went to 'easy speaking' bar down the busy 'pub street' and both had pasta, my how I've missed pasta! It was nice for a change and it's cheap, everywhere is here. It was $3 which is less than two quid!
We met two girls who had already been to see the temples, Annie wanted to do a full three days for $40 but I wasn't that bothered about seeing every single one I just wanna see the main ones in every country :) so the girls talked us out if it, one day is long enough to go get a tuk tuk drive you around all of the main ones like Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm (where Angelina shot tomb raider) those were the only two I was bothered about!
After that the girls went off to dance, we didn't wanna go with them (they were older and boring!!!) So we went to Miss Wongs, I had a mango daiquiri, beut! Annie had a Cosmo or something it wasn't half as good :( then after that we went off back to pub street again waited for Jay to finish work and meet us, Bonnie was ill! A cockroach crawled on my foot while I was sat down... Vom!
We all went out and did it all over again :D on the way home the flower girls were out again, I ignored her and walked straight past her then, she started standing on the back of my flip flops, wanting to get my attention to turn around so her little brother next to me could presumably go through my pocket!
It's sad that it's like this and that you really have to watch your back, but anywhere in the world could be like this and anyone with half a brain knows how to avoid it, so I just ignored them, hands in pockets carried on walking... :(
