I'm 50 days through my travels but still some way short of halfway. On this momentous day I started with breakfast at Cafe Kinyei again, where I whiled away over an hour, waiting for my bus to Siem Reap. It left just 30 minutes late making it the most prompt service in Cambodia. We stopped once during the 3.5 hour journey and we were dropped a couple of km from the centre of town. My tuktuk driver dropped me at a friends hotel rather than the one I requested, he did eventually take me there. I had the most disappointing vindaloo curry ever, maybe they mistook what I said for corma! Wanting to make the most of the remainder of the afternoon I took up the hunt for a couple of wats, not surprisingly they looked exactly like the other 100 wats I have visited already. I thought that perhaps a miniature model of the Angkor temples would be worth the visit, they certainly weren't. They were created by a local artist, some time ago by the looks of them. I just hope tomorrow will be more exciting. I haven't been patriotic today but I did see a pub selling Guinness, so I think I will head there (I think it is the closest I will get to an English bitter).
