Survived bus from phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Seats not made for long legged people. Playing in Singapore
Aug 30

After an early breakfast at the coffee shop next to our room, we found our tuk tuk driver and took off for Angkor Wat and the temples. It was my second time in 9 months to visit the temples, but they are just as spectacular the second time. There is so much refurbishment going on that there were new things to see and some former things that were blocked.

We did not have a tour guide, so we used the guide book and our own curiosity to explore. We covered 4 temples in about 5 hours. After ups and downs of all the stairs we were ready for a less active afternoon, so after lunch we took a walk around part of the city before heading back to have a snack at bar and a nap.

Just as we were ready to head out to the night market and dinner, a big thunderstorm started. After watching the storm from the balcony and realising it might not be smart to stand next to the power lines in an electrical storm, we settled back in the room to wait out the storm. We became totally enthralled in the absolutely horrible movie, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Man does that movie have incredibly bad dialogue and yet we could not stop watching. The movie did inspire an idea for a sequel. Let’s just say that the sequel involves the lax traffic laws and tuk tuks of Cambodia.
