• Day 39 - Mind The Cows

    18. mars 2017, Kambodsja ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    A day mainly of travel today so not a lot to report. After much confusion over our hotel bill where we were being honest and adding things on for them that their notebook system let them down on ('our laundry was 6kg not 2kg, we had breakfast on Thursday') and a quick Costa we took a small bus to our big bus to take us on the 6 hour drive to Siem Reap. Some key highlights:

    - The bus was very quiet so we didn't have to sit on the narrow 'built for smaller people' seats next to each other.
    - The complementary squashed, pre packaged pain au chocolat was pretty good.
    - We had to emergency stop twice for cows crossing the road.
    - We saw a lot of kitten and chickens.
    - A strange fellow passenger stared at Matt whilst they were at neighbouring urinals at the rest stop.

    We made it to our hotel and went for a swim in the lovely pool. We resisted the swim up bar for today, but I'm sure we'll be back. The bed had not only towel art but also my name written in leaves which was pretty impressive. We went on an ATM hunt and I got befriended by children who kept giving me fist bumps and high fives then showing me their play fighting skills then had dinner at the hotel and retired to bed early ready for our 4am alarm.... tomorrow Angkor Wat.
