Siem Reap

Our flight to SR was very good - we flew by Lao Airlines and although we were a bit apprehensive because we had heard so many horror stories about them, it was absolutely fine! WE left on time, our luggage was taken care of and we got a sandwich and a drink during the flight. Very nice and pleasant!

We landed on time, too and after making our way through immigration (consisting of a row of about 20 people in uniform - you hand them your money, forms and passport on the left and go pick it all up on the right. So it passes through every single person along the row - don't know what they are all doing to be honest...) and got picked up by Savuth from our Guesthouse. Unfortunately, he thought it was just me, so he came on a bike, but then had to call a friend to pick up Phil as well. Not too impressed with our guesthouse though, they are really pushy on the sales for the temples and are not service oriented at all. They are in the guidebooks, so I think they have just stopped trying and don't care because they know lots of tourists will come to them anyway.

Went to then have a look around the city which is nice and pretty french and had a few beers and some food, then back to the guesthouse for some rest. Tomorrow morning, we will have to go to the clinic to get Phil's rabies shot and then we will buy our temple ticket and go see the sunset at Angkor Wat.
