Day 26: Siem Reap

We were met by a tuk tuk at 8am to take us to the bus station for our 8.30am bus to Siem Reap. Again the hotel only charges us for one night and we were not complaining. As we arrived at the bus station the hotel receptionist arrived almost immediately after on a moped and apologised for not charging us enough. We equally apologised and coughed up.

We were pleasantly surprised with the nice air con, comfy coach and sat tight for the 6hr ride. We stopped once for an ice cream and wee break and had arrived at the bus terminal in Siem Reap which was nowhere near the city centre and up a dirt back street. We got a tuk tuk to our pre arranged 4 star luxury hotel just 5km up the road.

We stepped into the hotel and felt immediately out of our league! A free watermelon juice and cold towel to great us we checked into our lovely room and were down and in the Olympic sized pool before we knew it.

We sunbathed and swam and relaxed for a few hours until the sun hid behind the hotel. Kris settled his urge to do a work out in the gym while I continued to relax in the room. We walked into town with an ice cream then had a traditional Cambodian meal of pizza! Here we met some familiar faces that we have been bumping into for the last few days.

We watched a street entertainer jump through a ring of knives and flames then walked back to the hotel for a last minute dip in the pool. As it was dark we swam with candles lining the edge of the pool with the stars above.
