Took the boat to Siem Reap

I woke up a little early to buy some snacks at the market, where I saw some lady boys, still awake and arguing about something. I picked up a huge bunch of bananas and a ton of longan fruit. We ran out the door to the dock and made it just in time for the boat to Siem Reap.

The boat drivers let us climb right on top of the boat, even though there wasn't anything remotely like a railing. It was quite frightening, but once we got to our place on the bow, I tried not to go back in. We just watched the river bank roll on by as it broadened out into Tonle Sap Lake and we eventually reached Siem Reap.

I had already paid for a tuk tuk to town, but somehow they had already lost my money and we had to take an overpriced one for $10. Blech, I was really mad.

They dropped us off at our beautiful hotel. Jo booked the FCC in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. How classy. We went out to eat at Pub Street, which was horrendous, and must be done once I suppose.
