Yesterday was a relaxing day, starting out with travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. We met at the dock at 7am, where we checked in, and scheduled a $6 tuk-tuk ride from the terminal dock to our hostel in Siem Reap. 
Our vessel was a long and skinny passenger boat, resembling an aircraft. Putting most of our belongings in our seat inside the boat, we hopped on top for a better view, prepared for our six hour journey up the Mekong river ending in the Tonlé Sap lake.
Along the way, there were homes built on the side the river, with people farming, cattle grazing, and kids playing. More buildings still were built on the river itself—clearly the belonging to fishing villages and secured in place by some means I don’t fully understand.
There was no question that the Khmer people were hard working and industrious, always at some project or another. It’s historically been a thriving nation, but with such recent atrocities, it’s still getting back on its feet.
Upon arrival, we disembarked the boat, and found our driver, Blake. Travel in the wild west of Cambodian traffic laws still takes a bit of getting used to, but as in Phnom Penh, our driver was an expert at knowing his vehicle’s corners. We reached our hotel, and reserved Blake for our trip around the Angkor Wat complex tomorrow.
Our evening saw us getting food at Genevieve’s Restaurant, where we had more delicious food and drinks. We then proceeded to wander around shopping districts, where found a scarf and dress for Jessie to wear to the Angkor Wat complex, which has modesty rules.
There’s a fish in here, I promise.
We ended up back at our hotel at 6pm, with the idea that we needed to spend time figuring out the second leg of our trip. Since we bought a ticket to Da Nang already, we know our next destination. The problem is that we now need to know how we’re leaving Vietnam in order to get our visa, which also means that some things we already had planned, may need to get moved around.
But instead of doing all of that, we fell asleep.
