Today was an early start, checking out of our hotel at seven in the morning. We loaded up the vans and made the six hour ride to Siem Reap. It was a long and scenic ride through the depths of the Cambodian provinces. We entertained ourselves by playing cards and made the time pass by having restful sleeps (part of the time – due to disturbances e.g getting a recorder inserted into your mouth). We arrived at Siem Reap, unpacked and headed straight to Pub Street. Once there we were given twenty dollars to spend on dinner and lunch for the next day. While at Pub street we met some interesting characters such as a little girl with a tarantula, Nepi the scorpion seller and backpackers from around the globe. Our time was well spent eating delicious food including burgers and ice cream, bartering with shop owners to claim small souvenirs and dodging traffic as well as we could. Overall this day was a tiring one but definitely one to remember.
