Up about 8:30, had breakfast, then internet (was finally able to post that stupid journal entry), and as we were checking out of hotel, the bus came and went!!! That was 11:00AM. Sapir also decided to go back to Phnom Penh today. The three of us sat there, wondering if the bus would come back, after about 10 minutes, plan B came into effect.
We took motorcycle taxi's to the main tour office downtown, where the bus waits until about 12:30 before leaving. Sapir knew this, and he wasn't worried.
During the bus trip, they showed a really crappy version of "Cradle 2 The Grave", obviously a pirate copy, taped by someone with a video camera in a movie theatre, as you could see people in teh theatre get up, and leave their seats. Funny. Good movie, though. When was that released in Canada? Has it yet? We may have seen it before you guys! Hahahaha! Huge thunderstorm on the way back to Phnom Penh as well.
Arrived at Phnom Penh about 4:30, took motorcycle taxi's to Boeng Kak Lake area, and checked into Lakeside II guest house. We felt kind of bad about not staying at guest house #7, with the family, but we simply wanted a bigger room! We decided to stay in Phnom Penh one more day, and catch the bus to Siem Reap the following day.
We (myself, Court, Sapir, and Matt, an Aussie guy) went for supper at the Lazy Gecko Cafe, run by an Aussie guy (and his very unfriendly Aussie wife). They advertise "tender steaks" on a chalk board outside of the restaurant, and I have a nice, juicy steak for only $4US. Mmm, it's been a long time since I've had one of those.
We then moved to the Flying Elephant, had a few drinks, and Jaz also joined us. Then we went back to the lounge at our guest house and watched Jackass: The Movie...incredibly stupid, the really bizarre and dumb things they do, but it is funny. Played some pool, then to bed about 11:30.
