Angkor Wat where you can get Anchor Beer on draught for $.50US just about
anywhere.
Uneventful flights down from Luang Prabang. And here we are. Dropped our
stuff at the hotel north of 'town' but closer to the Wats and then walked
south. This is easy navigating....go to the river and turn left.
Town itself consists of one huge market (Michael already bought two very
cool believably old knives) and a mass of cheap restaurants and bars most of
which have Happy Hour pretty much all of the time. Stopped for beers and
spring rolls and met a couple of late 20-ish British blokes who are bumming
around for about 4 months before getting too serious about life.
This place is way cool. We are seriously questioning why we never got back
to southeast Asia in all these years. Meant to. Really meant to after
Thailand in '89 and again after Bali n '91 and then the winds just took us
elsewhere and we never returned. But we most definitely will again now. We
love it here.
Tomorrow morning it's an early start to see Angkor Wat at sunrise. The taxi
will pick us up at 5AM and we should be running around ruins for the best
part of the day. Should be totally awesome.
