Travels around Siem Reap

In the morning, Steve dragged us all out of bed early, with the exception of CJ, who dragged Steve out of bed. When we had all eaten breakfast, most of the group forayed into the town to see what there was to see, while several others stayed behind to carry out several tasks.

In town, we went to an internet cafe, went to the rather odious market, and took lots of photos, like a group typical tourists. There were several signs translated into English that lacked somewhat in linguistic accuracy. The prime examples being "Plastic bags waste ruin environmental quality" and "Please clean our water river".

For lunch, we ate at a restaurant where orphaned children are trained to cook and serve customers. Several people struggled with their meals, as it was all quite spicy. Having eaten, we split up again to do our own thing.

Dom, Matt, Danny and Lucy went to the bus station to pick up our missing kit bag. At the station, they were constantly harassed by a score of little Cambodian children, who seem to find Westerners such as ourselves fascinating. Fortunately, we retrieved our kit bag and returned to the hotel.

CJ, Steve, Phil, Sue, Alex and Eileen managed to get lost in the town, but eventually found what they were looking for (the Royal Gardens), so all was well.

Apart from that, nothing much of much importance happened that day, but we still all had great fun.
