• Chamraoen's Home, Siem Reap, Day 1

    November 23, 2017 in Cambodia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    It's another travel day, and this one promises to be the longest journey we will take in Cambodia. It is meant to be about 6 hours, and by 7.30 we are sat on the bus ready to go.
    The first 3 hours i spend watching a very interesting George Harrison documentary, and it doesn't seem like the journey will be too bad. We swap onto a smaller bus for the final leg of the journey, and soon realise it will be a lot longer then we first thought.
    It is pretty uncomfortable, and ends up taking a horrible 8 and a half hours. We arrive in Siem Reap just after 4pm and are ready to relax a bit. A tuk tuk takes us to our hotel and we pray it is nice. What we see when we enter is much better then we expected. It's a huge room, clean, tidy, and with working air conditioning! Just what we need after the journey of today.
    We are pretty tired after it all, so we go out to get some food before settling in for the night and relaxing, ready to explore Siem Reap tomorrow.
