From Bangkok we took a bus to the Cambodian boarder walked out of Thai customs, across the street, stopped at a health check point (a pop up table on the side of the road where we filled out a piece of paper) and finally walked through Cambodian customs. Once we were in Cambodia we then had to take a bus to the bus station (don't ask) and then wait for our bus to take us to Siem Reap (Angkor is located here) to hire a taxi to take us to our hotel. Needless to say I can't quite remember why we didn't fly, but I might recommend that in the future! Talk about a travel day. 

I can't say kinder words about the Cambodian people and their food. It was delish! As a tourist, it was intense to be approached by everyone for anything. The thing is, they are so good natured you could joke and laugh with them even if you never bought anything. Angkor Wat was breathtaking. Again, if anyone wants details about anything, please write me and let me know. We did far to much to write here. We spent 2 full days; The first day we biked (bike rental: free) around and the second we rose at 4:30 for sunrise over Angkor Wat and hired a Tuk-Tuk for the entire day (private Tuk-Tuk rental + driver + water for entire day $18). 

I'll let the photographs talk....
