JANUARY 10, 2014: ANGKOR SITES, DINNER-IL FORNO


January 10, 2014


     Pick up by tuk tuk driver Chhon at 7:00 am.  Bought our 7 day passes for $60 pp.  The pass is laminated and has your picture on it.  You show this at the checkpoint stop at the Angkor site entrance and it gets punched until all 7 days are used.  I had prearranged tuk tuk drivers for 6 days and a car for 1 day.  I did this with the help of TA forum regular lenny.

Our 7 day passes

ANGKOR WAT We will explore everything except the bas-reliefs.  We will climb all levels.  Spent 3 hrs. here.

No words needed

PHNOM BAKHENG Very steep climb.  Supposedly good for sunset views.

BAKSEI  CHAMKRONG not allowed to climb so around 15 minutes here.                                         
      
 






   
     Back to our hotel around 12:30 pm.   Pool break for 2 hrs.  Was able to relax and feel refreshed.  Picked up by Chhon at 3:00 pm.

 BAYON One of my favorites and only here for 2 1/2 hrs. but I could have easily spent much more time here.  Back to our hotel 5:45 pm.  Cost for the tuk tuk $17.  There is an extra charge if you want to do a split day like this.

     Dinner in town IL FORNO for pizza and pasta.  Under $16.  While husband explores I have a drink at the RED PIANO.  Pina colada pricey at $4.50 but this is a good people watching place.  Used Narak tuk tuk round trip $6.
