Up at 5:00AM, only 3 hours sleep. Ugh! We shower, go for breakfast, pack, then go to the place where the bus picks us up. We keep waiting for Roza and Rozette to pass by, on their way to school, but we don't see them. About 6:45, Malava, her husband and Ropiset go by on a motorbike, Malava sees us, and they turn around, and we say goodbye to them. Malava tells us to say Hi to Mavis and Darren and Megan, and they miss them very much, and would love to see them again.
Oh ya, I forgot to put it in my journal, but yesterday, even though we didn't stay at their guest house, we did go visit them. Rozette also gave us a similar message about missing Mavis and Megan (oh ya, and Darren too), and to say hi to them, and all that.
The bus picks us up about 7:00, takes us downtown to the big bus, and we leave about 7:30.
Road is paved part of the way, but mostly it is a rutted, bumpy dirt road. During strong rains, I'm sure the road would become impassable.
Stopped for lunch shortly after noon. Lots of beggars, including kids begging for a drink of something while you're sitting eating.
We arrived at Siem Reap at the Savy Guest House about 4:00. Nice, clean, big room, for $5. Guest house is quite far from everything, but only a 5-10 minute walk.
After we unpack, I go to sleep for a while, as I didn't sleep at all on the bus. Court went for a walk downtown. She came back about 6:00 and woke me up, and we both walked downtown and found something to eat.
Back to the guest house about 7:30, watched Killing Fields movie, and waited for the motorcycle guide to arrive to arrange transportation to the temples tomorrow. He finally comes, and we make arrangements for him and his buddy to meet us at 5:30AM tomorrow morning, to go to the temples. We're leaving early to catch the sunrise.
Went to bed about 9:45.
Cambodia people have much darker skin than people in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.
