I am getting good at this. Up at 4.10am … checking to make sure I know where I am going with grab and accidentally order one … quickly cancel. I will probably get charged but is only 5500 KHR so I should not worry too much. I shower and finish packing.

I got up at 4am and was outside the Angkor Wat entrance at 5am. In hindsight I was a bit too early. I had so long to wait until sunrise and I really would have liked to do the walk in with more daylight as I think it would have

The trip was a long way from the temples and about 1.5 hours each way in the tuk tuk on mostly very bumpy roads. I will consider giving Leng some more money even if just to cover extra fuel costs. My trip was a private trip … I am sure

A tuk tuk driver picks me up from my accommodation at 6.45 am and takes me to a place where I am catching the bus. My bus ticket, including this tuk tuk transport cost me $10 USD which is good value as the tuk tuk ride itself was about

I went out for a walk and to look for a money machine. All the streets are numbered in Phnom Penh so that does help with finding your way around. I am a little less nervous now about walking in Phnom Penh but still hold my bag tight. I also

My driver arrives on time at 10am. I must say here that the agreed price was $20 USD to visit both places but I also had to pay entrance fees at both places. I did check online and this was comparable to what was being offered. First stop is the

I am on the Giant Ibis Bus headed to Phnom Penh. Nice bus, has wifi and power point at my seat. I believe that the trip is 3.5 hrs. The bus picked me up at my hotel which was a bonus. We have just stopped at a fuel / service
