The rest didn't last long. I guess my dad was feeling antsy. He pretty much pushed us out the door. I was able to sleep for about an hour or so and was feeling a little bit better.
We started the day with a trip to a place called Borei Tlay Sap. There's a huge dam in this area and there's a lake. Of course there are tons of eateries so we had lunch here. The setup is similar to the place we went to before where it was on the water. There are bungalows and hammocks in the bungalows. In this area was the first time I saw bugs sold for food. There were crickets, silk worms and some weird flying bugs that I don't know the name of.
After leaving the area, we went to Angkor Wat. Linda and I went exploring the temple. It was funny that after walking through the exterior structure, Linda said, oh there's more? She told the exterior structure was it. The way it's laid out is there's a moat that surrounds the area. You walk through the first structure and then make your way to the center structure. We didn't climb up to the top since the line was way too long.
After leaving Angkor Wat, we drove over to Angkor Thom. On the way, we stopped to get some bananas to feed the monkeys. We didn't get out to check out Angkor Thom up close since it was after 4 and we had to get to Phnom Bakeng.
The big deal with Phnom Bakeng is that you climb to the top and watch the sun set into Tlay Sap, which is a big lake.
So Linda and I hiked up the hill and got to the foot of the temple. However, I was declined entrance to climb up the temple. I was wearing a tank top and the rule was no shoulders or knees showing. I didn't have anything to cover up with so we walked around to the elephant area. If you didn't want to hike up the hill, you can ride an elephant to the top. Linda loves elephants so we stood around waiting to see the elephants. After that we made our way back down the hill.
So word of warning to anyone who wants to come and visit the Angkor area: you must cover your knees and shoulders!
At night, Linda and I hit Pub Street again. However, it wasn't as fun as the night before. It was a lot more mellow and the live music options were pretty lame.
