Bus Hell

I suppose it wasn't quite hell but the novelty wore off when the air-con gave out for the second time. It could have been worse, we had air-con for most of the first three hours, it was the second three hours that were the trouble... We arrived in Siem Reap Thursday 23/4 hot and disheveled. One good thing, our driver in Phnom Penh had arranged for someone to met us at the bus station. I mean bus paddock with shed. I am happy to report that the bus paddock is not a reflection on the rest of Siem Reap, the town is quite nice and a lot more relaxed than the four million strong scooter derby we just left. We had a hotel in mind but our driver Kris made an an alternate suggestion, one that we are very happy with as the hotel is fantastic - nice rooms, lovely staff and in picturesque surroundings. We had a quiet afternoon and then dinner at the hotel to recover from the bus, ready for a full on day of exploring the city and then it's temples.
