Day 12 & 13 - Old town and another long journey

Temple

Yesterday we went back to the old town for a proper look around, as we didn't see all of it last time. We went into a couple of cafes by the moat and walked around the old town's market's and small temples. Afterwards we went to the shopping centre for dinner and then back to the hotel to pack.

Today we left the IndoChine Palace in Hue and traveled to Cambodia. First we had a 2 and a half hour drive to an airport, as Hue's airport was closed for renovations. We took a domestic flight from Da Nang airport to Ho Chi Minh airport and from there flew to Siem Reap in Cambodia. We were one of the few westerners on this flight, and clearly the most used to flying as almost everyone else on the flight was praying ferverently or running to the toilets and being ill.

We arrived at the airport to be greeted by yelling Cambodian people grabbing at us and shoving us towards passport control. After a short drive from Siem Reap airport we arrived at our hotel, ordered some room service, I ordered a Cambodian chicken curry, which was quite nice, mildly spicy. And then sat down to watch the Chelsea vs Rubin Kazan. During which time we have already experienced 2 power cuts, something I expect will be quite common during our stay in Cambodia. Despite all this however, Cambodia does look like an amazing place and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it in the coming few days.

ITS A HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA!
