Our last evening in Bangkok was really good fun. Rach went off to play netball with Jo. Yes Mum I played GS, GA and even a bit of GK. Was really good to have a run around and meet some of Jo's friends. Mark was all up for watching until on route we passed an Aussie bar with the cricket on big screen, netball all of a sudden wasn't so appealing.
Me and Jo picked Mark up on the way back to find out that he'd already made friends with the manager and chef and was even invited to an all you can drink event on Saturday. He was gutted we'd already booked our train ticket. We then went to a great expat bar.
This morning we had to get up at 4.30 after only 4 hours sleep to get a train to the Cambodian boarder. It was a six hour journey but went quite quick as we slept most of the way. On arrival it took a while to get through immigration and we then had a further two hour drive to get to Siem Reap. We checked into the guest house about 3pm and then went to explore Siem Reap. It's a great city and we enjoyed wandering through the markets (Mum you'd be in your element) and occassionally stopping off for a beer here and there. After our success with learning some Thai phrases we got a bar lady to teach us a few Cambodian phrases which went down very well at a restaurant.
Tomorrow we're going to chill and maybe go to a silk farm, then going to Angkor Wat on Sunday and Monday.
Love to all at home.
Dad, Sally and the Emblings hope you enjoyed your US vacations.
