May 7 Raiders 4.29 Cambodia (Phnom Penh-Siem Reap)

【 Route 】 Phnom Penh-Siem Reap

How to get up at six, breakfast spots a rice noodle, ate the bus came.

Dude said Sunday night live today all go to Siem Reap, what a guy, is equal to this bus to the package. Cars in Phnom Penh city go several bends, let's glanced at Tonle (Tonle Sap) and the Royal Palace, just go on NH6 highway. That is the road, there is a two-way two-lane country road, and I imagine the difference in far — the so-called NH but national road, alas. Cars bounced bounced were sent to the window occasionally shake a few strains of beautiful blooms of Phoenix trees.

Eleven or so, the car in transit with urban lbs (Kompong Thom) rest, next to a Arunras Restraunt, is the largest restaurant.

A fresh start and open two or three hours, finally arrived at Siem Reap. Get off do not see come to meet us in person, you can only call the two prior reservation by tuktuk to the Red Lodge GH.

Red Lodge's location is very good, in a quiet corner, walk to the old market (Psar Chaa) as long as 5 minutes, but the room is clean, the two man Dorn and Natt also are very hospitable, and responsive.

In the afternoon at the booked mountain nesbakken sunset tuktuk, we'll put down the knapsack, near to the old market who went back and forth.

The old market is Siem Reap the famous small commodities market, from chicken and duck meat to the jewelry, but it's really afraid to flattered.

Market, there are many restaurants bars around, we didn't want to, just broke an unprepossessing little restaurant, called Khmer Kitchen. Just sat and immediately discovered Lulu in front of man holding a Cup Super attractive red shaved ice, in a fit of screaming after myself and Billy collar life jumped into the opposite the old market, followed by the local people at various vendors chongsha for making Wo points between. When we came back to the restaurant with shaved ice, other people have already started and selling pirated books of local children wits. Presently, the legendary Fish Amok served, this practice is to put the fish in the zone of coconut flavor soup, very tasty. Since then we have been to many other practices, such as Fish Amok on coconut shell inside, wrapped in banana leaf inside, and Curry roasted together, the taste is different but all are very good, is worthy of "enable Cambodia based world cuisine of dish" (LP), gourmet Daren Lulu every tough said dishes later important to start taking pictures every time will forget.

After a good meal sitting in the restaurant turn LP, surprising discovery the Khmer Kitchen is authors recommended (The Author ' s Choice), the first taste of restaurant in Cambodia, we really are lucky that a fluke, but unfortunately we didn't back here then assiduously to eat it again.

【 Route 】 Siem Reap-mountain nesbakken (Phnom Bakheng)-Siem Reap

Akira back to Red Lodge, waiting at the gate tuktuk already, we have six individual packages, drivers, a two car called the Boray, people are very bright, all with our jokes, another called Seng, prudence, after two days of Angkor size ring depends on them, but the current task is to buy tickets, and then to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken.

16: 30, a quarter of an hour or so to Angkor resort entrance, the tie after tickets go straight along the mountain nesbakken, after Angkor VAT landmark five towers just glanced hastily, intended to meet the most perfect stay until tomorrow.

Buchan Hill not far from the North, was a small slope, but no decent on mountain roads, sometimes had to hands and feet.

On top of the Hill, bustling over frame Lance short gun, unfortunately not for us, a vast cloud blocking the Sun. And so for half an hour to see the sunset, just want to turn to leave, which know the Sun suddenly from clouds in it, a red light in the distance of Tonle, very spectacular, murder photography up to numerous human Billy film.

Downhill back to town for dinner, we chose the same authors recommended Dead Fish.

This is a very distinctive restaurants, each layer are staggered, like hanging in the air, Dim, put a lot of Boyz II Men's songs, the everyone around the root of the tree-like table sat on the ground, there are seven after watching the fairy dance (Apsara Dance). However here to eat when compared to the atmosphere, and did not give me leave a deep impression.

【 Recommendation 】

1, proved by tuktuk drivers GH to find is very wise, before I see quite a bargain for the trip, even communication failures caused inconvenience to the examples, all of us in Siem Reap are not met.

Also thanks to the Red Lodge, we not only to find a good driver, and the price is fair.

2, Siem Reap Street small trafficked pirated books after the quality good, than in Phnom Penh can see better, but we must resolutely bargaining.

3, Angkor scenic three-day-tail $ 40/person, require a two-inch photo and with saves queuing time, others like the local own printed on the pass as a souvenir.

4. climbing Mountain nesbakken try not to wear sandals, uphill, downhill dark is difficult.

5, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap's restaurants are generally provided free of ice water, of course they will not take the initiative to tell you.

6. old market closed earlier, dinner and then go for sure.

7, GH there normally does not offer free drinking water, at a room a bottle, so you want to go outside the supermarket.
