Siem Reap

Friday 12th October

We wandered around Siem Reap and got lost a couple of times, but saw more remote parts of the city because of this! We really wanted to try out a massage in Cambodia, so we went for an all-body option, which lasted an hour. It turned out to be not a wholly enjoyable experience, however, as the masseuses were not very good! We had to put on what looked like pyjamas, which were very comfortable. But the tiny room we were in had way over the top air-conditioning, so we were quite cold by the end of it. Due to the temperature, My legs and feet felt like they were on the verge of cramp throughout, and several times my left leg seized up. I think I frightened my masseuse a little with my sudden jumping motions and cries of "oooh, aaahh, oh shit it's gone again".
In the evening we had a buffet meal while watching some traditional Apsara dancing. I was really looking forward to it, but I found the dancing a bit dull, to be honest. But we had some delicious food and a fun evening.
