Day 14 Siem Reap

A much quieter day as nothing planned apart from booking a show through our guide this morning. After lots of discussion Marrie and Malcolm decided to go to a show of celestial dancers and David and I decided to go to the Cambodian Circus. . The service of the guide was so good he even booked the tuk tuk ride for us. We spent a very hot morning wandering the markets of Siem Reap where everything could be bargained for. After a snack of spring rolls and and bruschetta we travelled by tuk tuk back to our hotel- a very trying trip as the driver got completely lost and we think we could have directed him there ourselves from the pick up point. The whole afternoon was spent relaxing by the beautiful pool. At 6 30 we were picked up by tuk tuk and taken to a restaurant in Pub Street for a delicious dinner. Our driver waited for us and then took us to the circus which was away from the CBD, and luckily in a well conditioned big top, even though we were given fans. It was a very cool show with acrobats and dancers who were very clever. Their performer was accompanied by a live band. We left the tent to find our driver. Once again he was patiently waiting for us. The service was amazing. Our ride home was good but it did take us around the back streets which were a bit grim with lots of stray dogs. Off to Singapore early tomorrow.Read more
