New Year’s Eve in Siem Reap

New Year’s Eve Party in Siem Reap!

Happy New Year! Our first day touring the temples of Angkor has been packed with incredibly beautiful ruins. We started at Ta Prohm and were taken away by the beauty of the gigantic roots enveloping the ruins. We continued to Angkor Thom right after passing through two small temples. We toured Angkor Thom until lunch. After a great lunch in a little alley in the city, we went to see Angkor Wat and stayed there to watch the sunset. Kevin got a Buddhist monk haircut and we joined the New Year’s street party for some dancing and good time here in Siem Reap. It was definitely the coolest New Year’s scene we’ve ever been to!

After getting very little sleep last night we exited the bus and grabbed a coffee before being picked up by another bus on the way to Siem Reap, Cambodia. The journey lasted no less than 30 hours and we’ve just now arrived in Siem Reap. After trying some recommended hotels that were fully-booked we finally found a hotel for the next few nights. We also secured a tuk-tuk driver to take us around to Angkor Wat and other sites tomorrow and the next day. We’ve just finished our first real meal since breakfast at the guesthouse back in Laos and it was damn good!
