Angkor National Museum |
Not a busy day, we had breakfast at the hotel around 8am. The fried rice was devoured early that morning so we were left with breads and juice no more fruits left neither. We slept late the night before so we woke up late that's why.
Angkor National Museum ticket |
We purchased tickets at the Angkor National Museum right across our hotel for $12 each. It was really arid even in the morning which was weird, the air is really thin in Cambodia. We left our bags at the luggage counter. They will only allow you to bring your wallets and small make up pouch with you inside the museum.
The temperature inside the museum was freezing cold. It was interesting and boring at the same time because nothing beats walking around the Ankor temples than reading through their history in print.
I can't wait to go back to our hotel room because of the heat. We live up north back home so the the hottest temperature is normally at 26 Degree (Celsius) so go figure why the 30 degree weather and up is a killer.

I had coffee due to sleepiness whilst at the airport since we got there toooo early. the guy at the cashier barely speaks english and insisting on espresso while all i want is a macchiato. i asked for cappuccino instead.
Siem Reap, Cambodia International Airport |
The check in counter for Manila flights opened at 9pm. We waited and waited and waited. The good thing was our eyes feasted because there were a lot of hunks and good looking caucasian men at the Siem Reap airport so not bad man!
The thing is we noticed that some of the flights got cancelled if not delayed (mostly bound to Singapore, China etcetera) due to the bad weather in Siem Reap.
While at the boarding gate the announcement for Manila bound plane 5J 258 reverberated. An hour
and forty five minute delay to our dismay. yeah right. I told my sister, on a lighter note, we won't be bonafide travellers without experiencing flight delays since things don't always go as planned. Don't procastinate but expect the unexpected.

We finally boarded the plane bound to Manila around 1:30am (technically April 30 Manila time). We also learned that Obama went to the Philippines so that also explains the flight delays due to zero fly zone.
We were tired and sleepy but better safe than sorry. We'd rather endure flight cancellations or delays than a plane crash. The almost 3 hour flight again seemed forever and kinda scary due to quite a few turbulence. An airplane turbulence is kinda like rough roads in the air. My oh my we just prayed endlessly that all goes well which eventually did since we landed safely home.
NAIA T3 was desolate that i got to marvel at its vastness.
What did i learn from our Trip? A lot. Be happy when you are out there. Forget about work loads or anything that will remind you of work. Spend you vacay well by leaving all your worries behind. Travelling enriches the soul. Remember the book 'Eat, Pray, Love?' Appreciate life's simplicity. Take photographs because later on, once you look back, those photos will take you back in time. Don't waste your life away limiting yourself to where you are. Explore. We only live once.
Bye Bye Siem Reap, We had a wonderful time! ;)
