Siem Reap, Cambodia

-->
Cambodia
Siem Reap.

            An exhausting train ride dropped us off at the Cambodian boarder around 7:30 pm.  Hungry, tired, and not looking forward to another 2 hours to siem Reap, we made our way through the border and trudged on, making it to our reserved hostel.  Waking the next morning we began exploring and learning about our new surroundings.  IT was a lot drier here, and reminded me a Mexico, we wandered around the streets and found great food and great prices. They accept and prefer the usd to any other currency here, which was nice, but a little confusing to adjust to the 3 different currency exchange rates. Dollars, to Cambodian (?) to thai baht.  We relaxed most of the day and spent it at a nearby pool. The next day we were waking up early to the temples to watch the sunrise. 

            It was every bit as good as I had hoped and wanted for.  The temples were amazing, after getting past the little bit of confusion of where we were to go and how and such.  We only did the  mini tour, but that was perfect it last for 7 hours and by that time we were ready to change up our pace anyway.

We headed out in search of Loas the next day. It’s going to be a full 15 hours of bus travel. We’ll see how this goes !!!!

 Some pesky little monkey decided to test out my heart by jumping on my back and scarying the hell out of me.  Ahaha

 I like these dancing figures.
