Cambodia - Arriving

Our flight to Siem Ream from Bangkok was on a prop plane. The Siem Reap airport is small. Really small.
 Flying in over the lake just outside of Siem Reap. We came in on the heals of a flood.
 Our plane.
 Heading into the airport after de-boarding the plane.

The hotel picked us up and drove us by Angkor Wat on the way back to the hotel.
 Our first glimpse of the temple and it's area.
 Getting very excited!

Our Hotel was a 5 Star hotel. It had the most beautiful carvings.
This was the two story foyer.
 Ceiling panels.
 Our king size bed. It was deceiving. It was hard as granite.
 The fruit plate we had. That red/pink thing with green things coming off is a dragon fruit.

After a rest we headed out into downtown for the night market. This is the exterior of our hotel at night, looking toward the entry gate. 


Our Cambodian style tuktuk.
Our tuktuk driver was awesome. He was a short little guys with his cap turned backward so it stuck out underneath his helmut. Half his mouth was silver crowns. Happy guy. The Cambodian tuktuks are trailers that are attached to little Honda 125 motorcycles.
The night market area. It is a whole neighborhood, multiple streets with pub streets, clothing, old market, etc.

Just a few streets into it I saw a quilt store. That's tomorrow.
