With Takeaway shops back home named "Lucky Golden Horse" and "coming Soon Horse" and guesthouses on our travels promoting such features as "bland new renovations" I thought nothing further of a city full of pizzarias promoting "Happy Herb Pizzas". Siem Reap delivered much more than just a pizza but a pizza that kept on giving. Hayley was adamant on trying one, whereas I was a little wary and unsure, but with a little peer pressure and a price hard to refuse ($6) we were on our way.
We were up early Sunday morning to make our way to Angkor. We hired bikes and made our way through the chaotic streets until we reached one of the most amazing spectacles we had ever seen.
I have just spent 10 mins trying to start describing the day spent at Angkor and just hit a wall. Im going to leave this to hayley to describe tomorrow to upload some photos because I cant do it justice. The most amazing place I have ever seen and so much more than I had expected. We have just arrived in Phnom Penh and settled in a little guesthouse on the lake. First impressions of Phnom Penh werent fair but the people that swindled us on the border have gone and the true people of Cambodia are friendly and welcoming. We look forward to visiting Tol Sleung Museum tomorrow before heading on to Sihanoukville on Wednesday. Love From Daryn
