Day 28: Siem Reap

We woke both feeling a little rough. We went to breakfast but hardly ate a thing. We walked across the road to find free Wifi in a café as our hotel charges $3 per hour. This did not turn out too well as we ended up spending $4 on drinks but it was the principle we think!

We could not muster the energy to walk into town so we booked the bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok with Capitol from a one man band on the side of the street. Fingers crossed he is legitimate as we are cutting it fine as if all goes to plan we will arrive in Bangkok at 6pm and our plane is at midnight. We had intended to do this journey today but could not pass on one more night in this lush hotel.

Back to the hotel we laid by the pool for less than 2 hours as the heat was immense and we felt we were burning already. We rested in the room for a while and watched Taken. We walked just up the road for dinner then I went spending in the local market while Kris returned to the hotel as he has a strong dislike of shopping in markets!

Both still feeling bad and wishing we had not of just eaten, we chilled in the room until a knock at the door at 8pm from Brenda and Kevin who we were meeting for a drink in town. We walked to bar street and had a few drinks then again back to our hotel for a couple more. We said farewell and swapped details in order to meet up again when they visit London in May.

We attempted to pack as we have an early start in the morning.
