Angkor What??

FINALLY

It was a harrowing journey, but at last we have arrived: Siem Reap.

Yesterday we were on a bus to PP for 5 hours (no bathroom) and made bi-hourly stops to squatter toilets. What a pleasure!

We got off the bus to find that we'd missed our next bus by 15 minutes. Thanks driver. thanks a lot!

There was another coming in 45 minutes so Stu found an internet cafe while I chased down (literally chased down, he was biking down a busy street) an iced coffee vendor. (Iced coffee makes everything better).

Our next bus was supposed to take between 5 and 6 hours and ended up taking more like 7 and a half.

When we arrived it was late. The sky was dark and the mosquitos were buzzing.

A tuk tuk driver took us to some place. I don't know what the name is, but he gets commission to take people here and that's where we are now.
Our room was the grossest room we've ever stayed in last night.

Dead bugs on the bed
Pillows that literally crunched (what caused the texture? no idea)
The walls looked like they were rotting
The share bathrooms had interesting hairs on their wet floors

Way over priced. Four dollars?! Are you KIDDING?!

The place we stayed in Sihinukville had 2 big beds, private bathroom, and was clean with a TV for 4 bucks!

Anyway, tonight they're moving us to an.... AIR CON ROOM! It's way more expensive and in their actual hotel!

(the place we stayed was some concrete building BY the hotel. Mom, I can just see you cringing)

Anyway, today off to explore Siem Reap.
Tomorrow, off to Angkor Wat!
