First day at Angkor Wat

29.01.2017

We went on our rental bikes to buy our three day Angkor Wat tickets. I briefly pondered a seven day pass, but realized I'd be templed out after three days anyway.

So we took the long rout on the first day, trekking out to Preah Khan, a Buddhist/Hindu fusion temple, and Preah Neak Poan, a nice swimming pool for the gods. I was feeling a little poopy, so I sat out Preah Khan mostly, laying back in the leafy shadows while Jo had her own adventure.

On the way home, Jo left me in the dust and I met up with a chubby Italian guy who we had met in the morning. He was going my speed, so I followed him back to town, where I picked up some fruit and juice for lounging around at the pool. Jo did not realize I had the bike lock! The joke was on her as I enjoyed a popsicle and wandered around in the air conditioned grocery store.

We had a swim and happy hour drink, then went to another charity restaurant called New Leaf, recommended by a blogger I follow in Korea. The sweet potato fries with wasabi dip was awesome.
