The day started off very very early as our flight was at 6.45am. Of course I didn't sleep because knowing myself, I will not wake up at 4am even if I had my alarm.
As soon as we touched down in Phnom Penh,we head straight towards the bus station to catch a bus to Siem Reap. Went to get SIM card for calling but we bought the wrong one and wasted USD10. The bus ticket cost USD9, and its a 6-hour journey. Time to catch up on my sleep before the happenings.
Along the way, the bus stopped over for toilet break and food, where Rus was being pestered by kids to buy fruits. It's a nightmare. Haha. Rus will know what it means.
Finally we reached out hostel and went to the Floating Village. Dinner was at a roadside stall along Pub Street. Took a stroll and settled for a pub for some drinks and Apsara Performance.
Shall let the pictures do the talking:
Fried Cockroaches and Spiders.Us on the Tuk Tuk to the bus station.
Our lunch before we board the 6-hour bus ride to Siem Reap - there's pork, sausage, omelette, soup, pickles and rice! only for USD1!!!
Babel Guesthouse, USD6.50 per pax per night. Nice room and nice environment. Value for money!
Again, it's us on the way to the Floating Village. Driving us was the Tuk Tuk Driver who had to work in an Italian Restaurant at night. I'll blog more about this driver in my Day 2 entry.
Boat ride at the Floating Village. Interesting to see how people live on water, having sampans as their mode of transport. This is like another world to someone who can't even swim. Haha.
The scenery is very nice. And we went at a good time - sunset!
Dinner at Pub Street roadside stall. Always our belief that best food is found at the roadside. Had a huge coconut and Angkor Beer. Angkor Beer was not bad! Did some shopping and bought tea leaves, coffee powder, tom yam paste, sugar palm powder etc..
Went to this pub because they have free Apsara Performance. Rus thought their dance was cute. I only thought the people are small, see we are even bigger than the guys!! Anyway my drink, AK47 was undrinkable. Too Strong. But it's alright, the 2 drinks only cost us USD4, and we get free performance!
