City Introduction Walk

Brother Bong Cafe close to our hotel had good reviews on Trip Adisvor so we gave it a try for breakfast. Nancy had a large bowl of fruit which came with a tiny bowl of yoghurt, Doug had a typical Khmer breakfast of vegetable noodle soup and we both had an excellent coffee (lots of expresso machines here; often the coffee is expensive as the meal). We then did a walking tour of Siem Reap which Doug had found; highlights were two Buddhist temples, the later one dating from the 13th century (reclining Buddha) and having beautiful grounds with Plumeria. We had lunch near Old Market and took our time as Angkor National Museum was open until 1830 hrs. After lunch we took a Tuk Tuk there, he did a detour to a stop so we could buy tickets...we insisted we go directly there; such a dilemma as he/the ticket seller would get a slice of the action but we did not walk to take the $ away from the museum and also did not want to risk a scammed ticket although we doubt that would have been the case. He was gracious in the decline and thanked us for hiring him (met the Grab price after initially asking for double). Everyone is trying so hard to making a living.En savoir plus
