Angkor Wat

After our "magical day", we had to get up early to fly to Siem Reap.  Five o'clock is pretty early to be ready for a trip to the airport.  We flew out and got to our hotel in Siem Reap very early - about 9:00am.  Our tuk-tuk driver was waiting for us when we finally worked our way out of getting our visas.

The hotel, bless their hearts, got us in a room within about 10 minutes.  We took a tuk -tuk to town and walked around and ate.  Everything in Cambodia is in US dollars.  We got to an ATM since it was Sunday and all the banks were closed.  Even the ATMs spout US dollars!  It's about a $3.00 ride to town which is much more expensive than Thailand.  The hotel has a great pool with happy hour, so that's where we spent the afternoon.  We also ate dinner at the hotel because they advertised a burger special which was so yummy!!!

On Monday, we were up early and our tour guide came after breakfast.  He and the driver took us to get tickets and then the WHOLE day, in the heat, we tramped around most of the most famous places at Angkor Wat.  Our guide was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was just a very interesting man.  He and John had many philosophical conversations throughout the 2 days we toured with him.  Tuesday, he took us to a fishing village.
