We woke up at 4:30 am to be read to be picked up at 5am - all to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat. It was a pretty good sunrise but it sure did make us tired for the rest of the day.
We had breakfast at one of the small places by Angkor Wat and it was expensive by Cambodia. Many of the plates were $4-5.
After lunch, our tuk-tuk drivers took us out to the floating villages of Chong Khneas. At first you think you are on a ride from Disney with all the awesome scenery. You then realize people are trying to live and we are staring at them while they are eating, playing with their kids, or fishing. It was maybe a bit sad that we pay to see them. I hope some of the money for the boats go towards them.
We went for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Siem Reap. The food was not bad but Emme was exhausted.
We booked a 5 hour van trip to Phnom Phen through our guesthouse. It was $10 a person and it was OK. The road was worse than I expected but made it alive in 4 1/2 hours.
The bus drop point was only 2 blocks for our guesthouse so we walked to it. We arrived at Water View in Phnom Phen. I stayed here during our week without walls trip from ICS so I know I liked the people. We found a place for dinner down the street and then came back and played on the computers and rested.
