Angkor

The original plan is to visit the wats with Julien and Sharon, but Jessica and I are up early, and decide to leave a note and head out ourselves.

We figure we’ll start with the typical day 2 itinerary, so we can bump into Catherine and not have to worry about seeing the sunrise, which is usually done on day 1.  Our first sop is Preah Khan, which is quite nice.  We bump into Catherine on the way out.  We check out Neak Pean and Ta Som as well.  We stumble across a snake at one point, which was cool.  Checked out a few smaller temples too, then headed back to the guesthouse.

We like our driver enough to arrange for him to pick us up early the next morning for sunrise.  After lunch and a rest, Jess and I ehad downtown.  She wants a massage, done by the blind, and I plan on checking the internet situation out.  Hoping for a fast connection.  Instead I get a haircut and trim my beard. Despite the lack of a common language, it doesn’t look too bad.

Jess and I meet Catherine at the Deadfish restaurant.  I’ve left a note with Pennie and Wiki, but I check my email later and have a note from them to meet elsewhere.  I head over to the spot they suggested, running into Louisa and Beth again, but Pennie and Wiki aren’t around.  I assume they’ve headed to the Deadfish, and when I get back there, they’re already sitting with Catherine and Jessica.  Julien and Sharon join us eventually and we have a decent meal.  The restaurant has some crocodiles in it, and some Cambodian dancing, which is interesting.  There’s some confusion over the bill, but it more or less gets sorted in the end.  We have to get up early, so we get to bed pretty quickly.
