We arrived here on 10th May from Sihanoukville via two buses with a change in Phnom Penh which cost an absurdly cheap US$7 each. We arrived at the bus station expecting to be met and taken to our pre-booked hotel as promised. However, no-one showed up which exposed us to the worse bit of tout hassle we have encountered on the entire trip. Ten or so taxi and tuk-tuk touts surrounded us to hassle us to death to get into their vehicle and nothing would get rid of them. Neither ignoring them, politely asking them, firmly telling them or shouting at them to f**k off would achieve the desired result and we couldn't even speak to each other because of the din to decide what we wanted to do. Eventually we jumped into a tuk tuk whose driver didn't hassle us and got to our hotel in a not terribly good mood. Fortunately the hotel was very nice and so indeed was the town with any number of excellent bars and restaurants. We hired a tuk tuk driver (again someone who didn't hassle us to death) that evening to take us around the temples for the following three days. We plumped for 7 am starts, finishing late morning with another visit later in the afternoon which was a wise move as the heat (near 40c) and humidity was just too much in the middle of the day. There are a number of temples to visit with Angkor Wat, the biggest and the most famous and probably the best preserved. However, we liked some of the others just as much, especially the ones where huge trees had sprouted within them and sometimes, bizarrely actually growing on the walls of the temples. The tree roots appear almost as legs of the trees straddling the walls of the temples. Our early starts and late finishes also avoided many of the other tourists (many of them Japanese, snapping everything to death) and we managed pretty exclusive visits of many of the temples. We did however, join the scrum on our first day evening to enjoy a pretty spectacular sunset on one of the temples on a hill. We really enjoyed the temples and their lovely settings and the fact that we didn't get too bored during 2 1/2 days of visting around twenty of them tells it's own tale. What we didn't enjoy so much was the many touts and sellers (yup, them again) and the fact that we saw far too many very young children bugging tourists to death to buy crappy items for a dollar instead of being at school. We stayed here untill 15th May when we headed for Phnom Penh which meant that Stuart could watch the amazing Liverpool v West Ham F.A Cup Final in one of the decent local bars and enjoy the 50 cent a glass local beer while he did it .
