So here i am in Siem Reap -
I have just put in a whole day at the temples and am absolutely knackered.
Yesterday on the bus , a gentleman called Hywell sat next to me, a 40ish Welsh man who has been living in Melbs for the last 4 years - we had a nice chat along to 5 hr bus trip and decide to look at accommodation together when we arrived. He didn't really like the place i had originally picked out so we went hunting for about half and hour and finally agreed to share a room at a place near the markets. So i crossed my fingers that I wasn't going to be raped and let mum and dad know where i was just in case i went suddenly missing ( luckily neither of these occurred - although i think i must of had the lightest sleep ever as i was in attack mode just in case.) After sorting that out w hit up some Indian tucker and went for a walk before returning for reasonably early night.
Today we did quite a few of the temples - which were pretty interesting but i wasn't too fussed on the crowds. I took a few photos but mainly on my film camera, as i forgot to charge my digitial batteries before i left the Phom Pehn, and i want to save the battery for when i got to Angkor for sunrise. I have pretty much had my fill of temples today it think, and maybe just do an afternoon tomorrow if anything. I am planning to do sunrise on Tuesday morning before i leave. But i think there is some other coool stuff to look at around town, and yet more cheap massages.
Now i really need to go have a shower because my feet are sooo dirty from wearing thongs all day, and then i need a) cocktail and b) some food - in that order!!
Nite xx
