With our Thai visas expiring, we left Faasai/Chanthaburi on the 4th to head into Cambodia. We walked across the bridge with little trouble and hired a taxi to take us to Battambang. We spent two nights in the old French colonial town and have to say we enjoyed it. Our hotel was pretty much in the center of town so we had little trouble getting around and there was a huge market less than a block away (oh ya, and the restaurant across the street had 50 cent beers...) Anyways, after a day of resting, relaxing and reorganizing after the 2nd night we hopped on a boat at 7 am on the Sangkae River and took a 7 hour boat ride down the river, into Tonle Sap lake and finally arriving in Siem Reap. A short tuk-tuk ride later and slightly soaked from the afternoon rains and we have made it to our newest hotel and are looking forward to Angkor Wat (we leave in an hour, ie 8 am.)
In other news, we are now posting pictures in our "Travel Gumbo 2" album. Let us know if you have any problems finding that one and we can post a link.
