This is a little bit out of order since I forget to write this post earlier.
On day 2 of exploring Siem Reap, we started the morning with a trip to Banthey Srei. It's a smaller temple that's almost completely in ruins. Even though it's small and there are better preserved temples, Banthrey Srei is still very popular. It's Sunday and we got there around 10 am. It was packed.
After Banthrey Srei, Linda and I went to check out a butterfly center. For those of you who know me, I am not a fan of butterflies. I dislike all things worm related.
The one really cool part of the butterfly center was that we saw some walking sticks. They're incredible. They are great disguisers.
After the butterfly center we went to check out Ta Prohm. Ta Prohm was sort of in Tomb Raider. The movie is a little silly but there were bits of it shot at this temple. One of the things about Ta Prohm is the banans tree have been tearing up the temple. The trees are enormous. They are as large as redwoods. The roots have caused a lot of damage and the trees have grown right through the temple.
On the way out we saw a teenage boy creating some great paintings with watercolors. He did it so effortlessly. I bought 3 paintings from him. I loved the splash of colors he used and the simplicity of the paintings.
It is out last night in Siem Reap so Linda and I went out again.
We went to a spa to get some treatments, massage for me and mani/pedi for Linda. Unfortunately the mani/pedi person wasn't there so we left without any treatments.
Linda and I agreed to go back to the fish massage place. I tried it this time. It's really weird at first but after awhile, you get used to it. I started with the smaller fish and that was fine. Then I got brave and moved to the tank with the larger fish. That one hurts a tiny bit since their mouths are bigger.
Overall, Pub Street was only fun on Friday night. The scene was rather disappointing on the other nights.
