At the last minute, I took the 730am $4.50 bus to Siem Riep with John, from Canada who I met at the Bondii Tree guest house last night, and independant young lady traveller from Israel - Lital and got here about 2pm. Spent the whole journey having an extraordinary conversation with a Cambodian man who didn't speak a word of English.
Booked into the Royal Guesthouse for $12 a night with all the mod cons. Feel very very tired but will go freshen up and then meet up with my new friends in an hour or 2. I have booked a tuk-tuk to take me to the temples tomorrow, starting at 5am to catch the sunrise and finishing at 6pm. There seems to be plenty to see and do here but there are more back packers than locals and the efforts of the locals, to get promises of business off new arrivals at the bus station, have to be seen to be believed. Fortunately, my young companions seem to have an idea about how things work so I am not being left to flounder in the chaos.

go get a massage from the blind school...did you get your washing?
I wish I was there. Oh dear, oh dear. How utterly dull it is here. Joyless drizzle. Give my love to Ta Phrom and the Bayon, then escape to Laos!
