AAAAH....ANGKOR WAT.....is absolutely spectacular! We saw a lot of Wats- but this is definitely the cherry on the icecream. We throughly enjoyed our stay in Siem Reap, and loved the Ta Phrom hotel in the center right near Pub Street. We saw many of the temples and spent the last day at the museum, market and finally decided to go back to Angkor Wat for the sunset. Then our journey headed off to Battambang - 8 hours by boat (and we're not talking luxury boat or anything, I mean wooden benches). But we enjoyed the trip - and Mr. Tee (Charles's Cambodian brother) picked us up at the dock, with a sign "Welcome Rob & Ghislaine", so sweet!

Hairdresser at the market
We just came back from our "Seeing Hands" massage where you are massaged by blind people, and walked through the market, where you can find ANYTHING! Even a hairdresser, go figure!
Le Grand Cafe, Siem Reap
Finally in Cambodia! Had a VERY good flight from Amsterdam to Bangkok since we were both upgraded to Business Class, which meant we arrived well-rested in Bangkok - and took our connecting flight to Siem Reap a few hours later. Our airport pick-up didn't arrive (seems they didn't get our booking), so we needed to find another place to stay. We're at the Ta Phrom hotel right in the heart of Siem Reap (near PUB street). Tomorrow we'll visit Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom & Bayon. First impressions: really great, and such friendly people!
