Early start, the trusty Mr Mo took us to the boat ramp to meet the 7am boat. A wonderful journey awaited us .... first along the river for a while in the cool morning air, eventually reaching narrow water ways (wide enough for only one boat), and past the floating huts of the river dwellers. Amazing scenery and birdlife, and a great way to see how the river people live. We climbed onto the top of the boat and worked on our suntans while we enjoyed the magnificent views.
On arrival in Siem Reap 7 hours after we left, our boat was swamped by hordes of tuk tuk drivers looking for customers. We had arranged for a driver since transport to town was free with our boat tickets ..... but of course our driver still tried to charge us $10 on arrival.
A quick ride into town after checking in, then off to see sunset over Angkor Wat, which is as amazing as you would expect. We booked our tuk tuk driver for the next day. After heading to Siem Reap for dinner at an Indian restaurant, it was back to our hotel.
