I’m dividing this day into chunks, because it’s mostly photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d seen a cat in the hostel lobby ( there’s the bar area near the road, then the pool with one of those swim-up bars, and then the actual hostel reception area, a fair way back from the road ) a few times, but this time I got to say hello and was graciously allowed to stroke them a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure whether it’s a dirty white colour natural, or could just use a bath, but it seems well cared for & healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Because I had an early start, I naturally slept badly. Couldn’t get the AC to a level where it was comfortable but also not annoying, though subsequent thought makes me wonder if some of the noise was actually the shower plumbing; There are some odd pressure effects going on in their system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostel pickup went smoothly, though rather than a pickup for the tour it was a transport to their offices\/waiting room, to then be divided into groups for all the different tours for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Angkor Wat part of the tour was us slowly meandering from the West Gate to the East Gate, led & occasionally hurried along by our guide, Sokpheok. May not have spelled that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of photoshoots going on. There were a fair number of couples in traditional clothing getting pictures taken, for wedding photos we’re told.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
