Cambodia... and Siem Reap

Hey hey there,

Well we eventually left Bangkok after my Vietnam visa came through on Tuesday. H and J were very kind in waiting until it was processed, despite them hanging around for ages! Nevertheless, we had great fun in visiting the floating markets, experiencing some of the social scene and spending countless hours in Starbucks...! (We had lots of vouchers which meant it wasn't too expensive, and a real treat to be out of the heat and in the air conditioning)...

So yesterday we got on a bus horribly early and arrived in Siem Reap in Cambodia yesterday evening. Spending our nights in a gorgeous hotel with pristine white tiled rooms, 3 huge beds (small doubles), our own bathroom and also cable TV, such luxury! Siem Reap is quite tatty looking, and not as great as the LP makes it out to be, but we managed to find ourselves a nice cafe to park ourselves for a couple of hours. Also went to watch the sunset in Angkor Wat this evening but unfortunately the weather wasn't great and so didn't spend huge amounts of time there. We have our tickets ready now for tomorrow so are leaving at 4.30am to catch the sunrise there... quite painful!

Anyway hope everyone's ok, will write again soon,
Much love,
Alice and the girlies xxx
