On our second day, Husband and I were up early again - hello, jetlag. We wandered the dark streets until it was time to catch a cab to Don Mueang International Airport, Bangkok's other (older) airport. The traffic was unreal for 6:30 am. We caught a quick flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Husband spent the entire flight doing immigration paperwork. After working through the visa assembly line, we gathered our luggage and met our tuk tuk driver. Our "carriage ride" to Bunwin Boutique Hotel was one of many trip highlights! A couple of stops to various ATMs taught us Cambodia uses the US dollar. The hotel gave us such a romantic greeting: ginger sugar cane juice in an elephant cup and flower petals in our bathtub.
We were ready to be on the move after a morning of travel. We hopped backing in "our" tuk tuk to Psar Chaa (Old Town) and started exploring. There were cool markets and loads of tourists. Old Town is where you spend your time in Siem Reap if you're not exploring Angkor Wat. After a bit of shopping (for a "bargain" backpack, according to Husband) and lunch at Khmer Kitchen, we treated ourselves to a fungus eating fish foot massage and pedicure. Husband then enjoyed a pitcher of beer while I delighted in the sights and sunset.

The Night Market was next on our agenda. Here we bought a piece of art from a thirteen year old girl, though she said her older sister was the artist.
The day ended with cold showers and much needed sleep.
