Today i took;
One Boat + Three Minibuses + 1 Taxi + 1 Motorbike.... But i made it to Siem Reap. It turns out that I almost had to go alll the way down to Phnom Pehn as there are no good roads in the North West of Cambodia. 16 Hours of travel by land is enough for me.
I met some cool people and checked in at Popular Guesthouse, which i would recommend. Had a drink with the local Camdian guys LOL they were drunk after one beer.
The next morning Ivo (Chec Repub) showed me this awesome coffee joint called the blue pumpkin. The coffee was actually good.....real coffee. Needless to say ove the next few days i spend a fair few hours chilling on the lounges here reading.
Hooked up a moto driver for the upcoming days. My driver took me out to see sunset from the temple on the hill. This night I went out with the cambodian reseption guys. The club was pumping with cambodians and ladyboys lol they just can't be avoided over here. Ended up out till 5am sweet night out. Language barrier was a bit of an issue.
The next day up at 8 (ok 9 really) to do the temple thing. The temples i saw were, Angkor Wat, Ta Som, Bayon, Ta Preak Phem and Pre Rup for another sunset. The temples are truely amazing. Just the sheer amount of stone and work that has gone into them is amazing so amazing. Pretty sure dad would love them.
Chilled on the 16th just read a book and drunk coffee. Got a massage. Chilled more.Then decided I'd give a machine gun a try. I shot a 30 cal Browning Bird. 30 bullets. The immense power of these weapons is crazy. How easy it is ...quiet shocking. Dinner was awesome mexicana done so well. The western food in this twn is killer. Siem Reap is a cool city.
