Chamraoen's Home, Siem Reap, Day 2

As we got here pretty late last night we didn't get a tour to Angkor sorted, so today we plan to have a chilled day and explore the town a bit. It's lovely to wake up after a nice nights sleep (air con really is worth every penny) and we slowly get up and head out for some breakfast.
After eating we head for a walk around the market, which is busy but the vendors aren't as pushy and insistent on you buying something as they are in Vietnam which is nice. It's nice to be able to look at things freely. After that we decide to check out the famous pub street. Usually, these streets are the most expensive places for drinks, but not this one. Beer is 50 cents, and we soon take one of the bars up on that offer.
It is a strange day. Drinking draft beer in the sun gives a feeling of being on holiday that you don't often get whilst travelling. It's a lovely, relaxing afternoon in the sun, helped along by a lovely Welsh couple who are sat next to us.
After the beers we grab some nachos which taste delicious and head back, ready for the sleep that daytime drinking often leads to. I wake up pretty late, but still with a taste for beer, so we head out to pub street again. I want to try a fried tarantula but bottle it at the last minute. We have a few more drinks and head back, ready to see Angkor Wat tomorrow morning!Read more
