145 to Siem Reap 12.12.18
Lalit had been going 25km more than Sisophon yesterday and we agreed to meet there in the morning. At 8, I was there, we had breakfast and went on together. On the way i wondered about constructions you often could find:
a plastic foil stretched in a wooden frame over a flat water basin.
…and all along the streets, you can see grain
We had more breaks than I usually make, because Lalit often had to buy water. And we bought fruits
and later ate soup.
Some km before Siem Reap, I had to go south to my “warmshowers”-host, Sehya, and Lalit went on to the city. 500m before reaching his place, I met Seyha or better, he met me, because he asked if I am Martin, and I was. He drove back with me, shortly showed me his place and went again. I prepared to go to the ticket office for Angkor Wat to have it in advance. When I went end made a stop at a restaurant, there sat I young man, apparently also a bike tourist. And Alex had not only the same idea in mind regarding the ticket, he also was staying with Seyha!
We made the evening tour to the ticket shop and to Angkor Wat together.
There, we arrived a few minutes after they had closed the entrance.
We tried it at another temple, and again too late. So, we went home, making a stop to buy something pancake-like
and the some rice with vegetables. Alex need to check something online and so, we went again to the place where we had met before. I bought some pastries while he used Wi-Fi. One was like Ka-nom-chan from the taste, only with other structure. One was filled with Durian custard….
Then, I bought a big bottle of water to refill my bike bottles and payed an “European” price, about 4x more than usual. It is not much money, but I don’t want to go there again.
At home, we had to wait, because Seyha, who also is a kind of priest, held is daily ceremony.
I prepared some things for an early start to Angkor Wat, wrote this, cut photos and so.
Upload is better possible with Wi-Fi (and Seyha has no), but still I will not go to that restaurant ?
