Siem Reap is a mess. Extremly messy town on the one hand and a very nice park and a bunch of very fancy looking Chinese hotels on the other. We stayed at a small guesthouse called the Two Dragons. It was probably owned by an American expat and his Thai wife, but who knows. The room we had was so-so, but the restaurant was excellent.
First day we joined another couple for a tour of the Tonle Sap lake. The floating villages and all that stuff. Beautiful day and probably more than 4 hours in a tuk-tuk. I'm not so sure that the stuff the guide told us about the floating villages were true. It seemed very rosy to me at least. In the evening we went to see the sunset over Angkor Wat. It was probably pretty, but the hordes of tourist made it all very unpleasant.
The next day we had a tuk-tuk drive us around to see a lot of temples. Angkor Wat at 5:30 for the sunrise and we ended the day at Ta Promh (The Toomb Raider temple) at around 17:20. Long day.
