30th December
Sensible start time 9.30 headed off to bus depot for a 6 hour trek, no dramas just a couple of odd stops with beggars as usual. This time we had got a pick up from the other end enabling us an easy way through the masses of tuk tuk drivers wanting our business! The only problem being our tuk tuk had a 2 seat affair and 3 of us with large back packs! This did not phase our driver, he loaded us and bags on and set off! We arrived at a very nice guest house! This was suggested by place we had departed so we were uncertain of any reviews! We spent the evening chilling on the terrace with the fish foot spa, well I used the spa! Very odd!
31st December
We were pretty slow getting sorted but headed off for our first Temple Experience at Beng Mealea, known as an Indiana Jones experience, certainly was too! The tree roots growing around the temple was amazing.
We headed back and got sorted to head to town for an early dinner and find a location to celebrate new year. Getting into town around half 6 we walked around to see the area, roads were closed off but not many people were out, we found a great dinner location had an amazing Mexican with frozen margarita's for about £1, they also contained a fair amount of alcohol! Being still on drugs I drank a fair amount of water before food. Food was lovely, we finished dinner and headed on to a bar to have a drink, sitting near some Korean's who were rather tipsy at 10pm there home new year! Who departed straight after was very weird. We headed back out where the streets were now filled with people, bars had set up street bars and the famous 'Buckets' were available! I proceeded to get a voddie and red bull bucket to see me through. The sound systems on the streets were unbelievable for Cambodia we were not expecting it at all, all nationalities were dancing on the street it was a fantastic night !!! We loved it.
