Siem Reap Day 2

 Surprisingly I had a good nights sleep. I used the ear plugs and they worked very well. Ann fell asleep about 10 mins after she started reading, so the noise did not worry her.

This morning we had a ballon ride, supposedly over Angkor Watt, but it was nearly two kms away so we could just make out the silhouette. It was also hazy so difficult to get a clear picture. The balloon ride however was fantastic, it was nothing like any of us expected. We went up about 100 metres and just stayed there being held in place by a steel cable that was tethered to the ground. After 10 mins we were slowly hauled back down. It was a great experience. This afternoon we head to Angkor Watt, it is very hot and we will need a shower when we get back. The shower is cool, it is lined in a marble type surface and has a bench you can sit on when under the shower. Very civilised. 

Forgot to mention at happy hour last night Ann had two Singapore Slings while in the elephant bar at Raffles!

After Effects

 Apart from Ann, myself and a couple of others in the group, most of them suffered some kind of sickness. Some worse than others with a coup...
