Day 8 - Siem Reap
First order of business was to transfer to a smaller, less gloomy room where bathroom was next to bedroom, and aircon somewhat more convincing.
Out and about -- first stop at the Angkor National Museum showing the antiquities of Angkor Wat and the remainder of the Khmer kingdoms' histories.
Took a $3 tuk-tuk to the Three Sister restaurant where we had a most satisfactory $5 lunch (including beer), followed by a tour of the Artisans D'Angkor. This is a cooperative of 48 crafts manufacturing establishment around Cambodia, of which the largest is in Siem Reap. The produce silks, porcelains laquer-ware, and reproductions of traditional Khmer sculpture in wood and copper.
And a very nice young woman showed Kathy a new way to tie the knot!
Took a tuk-tuk-tuk to the Angkor Village Resort -- sister to the Angkor Village Hotel -- for a massage. Lovely ride, lovely garden setting, lovely massage.
Dinner at Chanrey Tree Restaurant was V tasty.
