Cambodia 14 & 15 Mar 08- ‘NU-A’ day

WE decided not to go visit the temples though we have one more day ticket allowance. Juz dun wanna spend $ on transport to see the same structure in different place. And we were also quite tired from the 2 days ultra intensive temple visiting and walking.

SO……..we decided to NUa in the hotel. We zzzz late and decide to explore the town later in the afternoon when the sun rays are less glaring.

 Here’s some interesting sights.

Another nua day.  Surprisingly I felt very down not because I’m homesick. But rather I felt dreaded  - very dreaded to go back to work, despite looking forward to see my colleagues and friends back home. That was a strange feeling.

We decided to finalise our shopping for souvenir today. We visited the night market juz round the corner of our hotel and trying to get some local products. But they don seem to sell any local products and very expensive souvenirs. We managed to find some souveirs and back to the hotel. Feeling unusually sad

16 Mar 08

Our flight is at 7am, and so we need to set off in wee hours of the morning. We hired a tuk tuk driver to take us to the airport. YEAH, a tuk tuk! It was a refreshing ride, when the roads are not yet busy with traffic. Cool and peaceful and not so dusty.

After checking in, we hang around taking photos then we proceed to the departure hall after paying our airport tax.

End Journey trip

Finally my wish to go Cambodia has completed. Get to know how the people live, and also get to see the poorer side of them. Despite that, I’m pleased to be able to see the famous AngKor Wat with my darling. Thanks baby 8)
