Current Mood: Better than Yersterday but what an Early start!!! Sunrise at Angkor Wat.
The day began early!! 7am we were up and on our way to the bus station heading in the direction of Siem reap!! this Bus was probably the worst bus ive ever been on!! We were both really miserable on there but looking back at it now i think i see it in the same light as a once upon a time train in Thailand heading to Chumpon from Bangkok!! oooooh what twitchy times hahahahahah!!
In spats of 5 minute intervals we would be swarmed by what seemed to be every mozzy in Cambodia!!! dodging those little bastards as well as the chinese girl slapping at me with a news paper in atempts to kill a few i felt truely alert and well exercised!!! Han however was having other troubles!!
We were sat at the back of the bus where all of the seats had under floor heating ( i just love this when its already a million degrees C) and broken recliners on the seats!! so with a hangover, the heat begins to grate on us but Han bless her was being tossed
about by her seat everytime we hit a pot hole!!! let me tell you they were plentiful!! hahaahahah in the end after not being able to see her pained eyes at every bounce she experienced i thought id throw my weight onto the seat and give Han mine!!! well me being a massive guy and all youd think id beable to sit still hahahahahahah (as im flying down the isle) F*****G Cambodia!!!!!!!
On arrival we hunt out the guide book and go on hunt for somewhere to stay!!! after a few attempts we put our trust in our driver who lands us in a fairly decent place!!! so unpacked and drained beyond belief we decide our time of not drinking will be spent getting truely lethered!!!
As youve read before hand the night before was spent eating pizza!!! the special kind!! so the day was already abit of a haze for me at least!!! so up on the roof terrace in the popular guesthouse we meet a few guys fluttering across the place saying hi how are you etc etc when eventually we were confronted by this guy called Steve i think!! either way this is irrelevant!! he
was a right case!!
Instead of coming over and saying hi like normal people he began with.................. You murdered me inside my mothers whom and now you chasing me again to abolish and ruin the next wives chance you cunt!!!!! arrrrgh now i hate that word and having a lady present made it worse!!! he continued with all sorts of shat that led from he is the Buddha......... Angkor was his property.... Something about Confusious....... hes the father of Lennon blar di blar but in short we had a spat as he was just an insult but more so was he real??????????? god dam Pizzas!!!! if you wanna elaberate Han write some stuff and ill paste it in!!!
On queue i decided enough was enough and with plans to go see steves home in the morning we hit the sack!!! up for a sunrise i think hahahaha
At 4am im up and showered.... drag lazy arse from the bed and into the shower (?) haha and head out to get our arranged pick up for Angkor Wat!!
Arriving in the pitch Black we quickly jump on the trail of tourists with industrial torches and follow to
cant find it again!!!
Han we need a book or something hahaah avoid ending up in the pond following to a point that we would be greeted by touts with lipton tea and a stool to take pue for the rise of the sun! Half an hour later the sun rises and begins to silhouette The grand temple with great reflections in the lake that was appearing before us!!! a little breath taking to say the least but as any other temple... tourist atraction or wonder of the world........ there was no stopping Hans tummy from rumbling so we had to go eat hehehe!!! Kidding!!
We went to see the sights of angkor in the morning walking the corridors of the main Temple taling in the sounds of prayer and shutter speeds on cameras!!! even early this place is so busy!!
so after wondering for the morning we ventually got some breaky and continued to wonder the grounds of Angkor for the best part of the day!!! At around 4 oclock i decided that sunset was to far away and with it being New years eve we wanted to get back to get a Nap in before heading out to party so off to the tuk tuk and home we
went!!!
Pork bun and a little sleep later we were out and on the reck!!!!
look out for the tails of Newyears eve!!!
love to all at home!!!!
miss you guys.....
love from your big bro Niki
