Day 91 and 92: Blogs and Phnom Penh Again

Day 91

We decide with money a little tight (everything is a lot more expensive around the New Year) and our tans fading, that we will have a lazy day for our last in Siem Reap. We are up late and once filled on the delicious free breakfast we lounge by the pool, sunbathing and swimming till about 1pm. Bliss.

After we hit our sun limit, we go inside and I spend s huge chunk of this afternoon writing up my panic attack experience in Otres. It was quite hard to write but was actually therapeutic as I got to see the experience as a story that I was telling and not a memory I was reliving. I'd recommend it. The response from everyone has been fantastic from it and I want to say thank you, I hope it came across well and that mental health problems don't have to rule or ruin you. 

We look into going back to temple explore at sun set but we couldn't justify the $20 for the short trip so grab some more of that delicious Italian food but don't seem to move in time and get sucked into a carb coma, but with pasta that good, who cares.

Day 92

We're up nice and early as our bus leaves for Phnom Phen at 8.45am. After a bit of a slow half hour trying to pay up (I think everyone was out partying last night) we leave and at our bus station. I'm a little apprehensive about this trip as the last few we've had haven't been great (no air con first and the fish second) but it was brilliant! It's a big coach with lovely air con and strong wi fi, it also comes with a free drink and snack! You heard right, a snack of a fresh Danish pastry, so good. 

We stop for lunch and then suddenly we are in Phnom Penh, the time has flown by. We get a dodgy tuk tuk driver who takes us the long way around and realise we know he has when we tell him we've been in the city before. He's an idiot really as we would have used him for the airport run tomorrow, plonker. The hotel is so lovely, it's got big ceilings, a warm shower and a Snickers filled mini bar, there is also a pool downstairs. We spend the evening booking Malaysia (well actually just trying to work out where we want to go) and then Khmer curry for dinner, nom.
