Pub Street



We have spent every night in Siem Reap at Pub Street. We tried the Khmer BBQ, eaten weird ice creams, had amazing foot massages and waited, not so patiently, for Tom to barter with the locals. I actually thought I was quite good at bartering, Ian so/so, depending on whether he can be bothered, Emily is just crapiola, but Tom is the master - hands down. So we pick what we want, go order food and leave him to it. It's a great system. LOL



We catch Tuk Tuk's everywhere, which we let Tom barter for. Me and Ian need to sit diagonally across so the whole thing doesn't tip over....

Khmer BBQ, you cook it yourself. Tom was very fidgety tonight as all he wanted to do was go and barter for another watch. He already has two or three or four (actually I have no idea). So he was playing with his chop sticks, was asked to put them down and instead he decided to shove them up his nose, put them in his armpits, you get the picture. He was then asked to get new ones. By the time the food was ready he had forgotten and picked up the same chop sticks and placed them straight into our COMMUNAL dinner!

Banana, chocolate, pancakes.....

Fresh Fruit Smoothies only $1

 

Very strange ice-creams....

 Fried 'tarantula' with chilli, he managed to eat 3 legs before giving up!

 

 

Last day in Siem Reap

Sunrise is far too early. Try getting two kids up at 4.30am that aren’t even in the same room as you! Holy Moly….

The sunrise over Angkor Wat was spectacular and the ambience really eerie. Now back to the children. We were supposed to be in a connecting room – this didn’t happen. They are on the same floor as us just a few doors down. This would not be a concern for most family’s. We are not most family’s…. Yesterday I hopped out of the shower to discover that there was not a single towel left in our room. Emily had taken all of them. Ian had to run down to reception while I stood naked, patiently waiting. My shampoo and conditioner keep disappearing and last night I turned on the air conditioning for them as they were complaining they were hot. This morning at 4.30am they were whinging that they had been cold all night as they couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. Good thing I got them up early. They forget to lock their door, or lock they their door while the key is still inside. Last night I checked on them before I went to sleep and noticed a walkie-talkie on the table beside their bed. Of cause neither of the kids had noticed this (I assumed housekeeping must have left it). As soon as I pointed it out Tom started jabbering into it. As I was walking back to my room staff were running up the stairs towards the kids room LOL



Sunrise - Angkor Wat

Jungle Temple - we climb like Indiana Jones!

At lunch Emily stated that she was now 'done' with temples and was hoping that there wasn't anymore to be seen in Asia - ha ha ha 

After we were finished 'templeing' we drove to Tonle Sap Lake. Tonle Sap Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia. Many of the residents live in stilt houses or floating houses to accommodate the flood waters during the monsoon.
