Wake up at 8:30am and after breakfast (just a baguette with butter and jam) to to the Central Market. It's HUUGE and full of mostly tat. Surprising how many people are interested. The only thing I'm interested in is the "genuine" 'Beats speakers', but according to Erwin you can get get them even cheaper in Bangkok so will wait until then.
We hen head to Watt Phnom to look around. "Foreigners" have to pay to enter, but at $1 it's fine! Another good looking temple. It's really hot, about 37*C! On the way home go into Gloria Jeans cafe for a raspberry Italian soda (yum) and a croissant, and to escape the heat in some A/C. It hurts to eat the croissant as my jaw still really hurts from my wisdom tooth!
Go back to the hostel and get our stuff together before getting our Tuk Tuk to where our bus collects us. The English couple from the horrendous journey are there too!
The bus leaves at 1pm. Today's bus is an actual bus with A/C and SPACE! After 3 hours we stop at Krong Thom for some foot, we get fried noodles with vegetables and eat super quick before our bus leaves again at just before 5.
It starts to get dark quite quickly as there's a big thunderstorm approaching! I manage to start reading one of my books without feeling travel sick! :) get to Siem Reap at 7:30pm and our Tuk Tuk driver (Ho) takes us to our guest house - Siem Reap central hostel which is really nice!
We (still Rikka, Ashley, Erwin and I) arrange for him to pick is up in the morning for Angkor Wat sunrise.
There's a huge thunderstorm is really loud with huge claps of thunder which is really exciting!
Head out for food and go to "Vivo", a Mexican and I have a veggie fajita which was AMAZING! Head home for bed shortly after as we have an early start tomorrow for the sunrise!
Laying in bed and there's a power cut from the thunderstorm! finally get to sleep at about 10:45pm.
