We were supposed to leave at 7am today, but apparently I slept through two wake up alarms and the hotel staff banging on my door. Luckily all the others took it in good spirits. I have just enough time to grab breakfast - rice on bread, because when you're hungry and in a hurry, anything will do - and pop into a very comfortable air-conned minivan. I doze as we head towards the Cambodian border, and we all have lunch (more rice for me) before braving the beaurocracy.
Just as we're in the final queue my lunch makes a fairly sudden and entirely unwelcome reappearance, but I feel mostly fine regardless so try and shrug it off. There's a repeat episode on the bus to Siam Reap but that seems to be the last of it. I don't know if it's tiredness, hangover, bad food or some combination but I'm here now and that's all that matters.
As it's raining and I'm still feeling a little delicate, I've not gone for a proper explore yet, but tomorrow I will be visiting Angkor Wat. This will probably be a highlight of my entire trip. The evening sees the entire tour getting some Cambodian food (apart from those amongst us choosing pizza or chips) and watching some traditional dance.
