Angkor Wat

Yesterday, Tuesday, Jan. 28, we found ourselves on another bus that took forever. This time we weren't as prepared mentally as we have been in the past. The supposedly 6 hour ride took 9 hours with many stops to pick up locals and transport them to the other side of town or to a nearby town for a cheap cheap price. We paid $15 for the two of us to travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and we saw a woman get on and get the local special. She paid $1.50 for about half of the ride. We were fairly positive the driver and host were pocketing the change. Our stops also included restaurants that had highly questionable food, so we opted not to eat. We finally ate at the "Little Cafe" in Siem Reap. We must have been starving or the food was simply amazing!
Today, we woke up at 4:15am and met our Tuk Tuk driver at 5am to go see the sunrise at Angkor Wat. There is a Tuk Tuk driver in Siem Reap that is a member of the church and his brother, Gong, was our driver all day long. We will let our pictures do the talking about the Eighth Wonder of the World. We will have plenty more pictures to show when we get home.
