Checked out of my hostel. Wanted to call Tess, but my ride to the bus terminal was early. Rode a bus to Phnom Penh for six hours. Rode a tuk tuk to my hostel and checked in. Walked around the neighborhood a little, but there was little to see. Ate dinner at my hostel.

Jake drove me to some of the smaller temples. I can’t recall which ones, but aside from small features, they were very similar. After seeing temples for two days under a blistering sun, they all started to look alike and I grew weary of it. Returned to the hostel and arranged for a six-hour bus ride to Phnom Penh the next morning.

Ate breakfast at the hostel. Jake drove me in a tuk tuk to Angkor Wat, Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm, The Bayon in Angkor Thom, and Phnom Bakheng, to the top of which I hiked for a sunset view. Needless to say, the temples there are exquisite and exciting to explore. My favorite was Angkor Wat, but The Bayon was a close second. I ate dinner at the same street place as the day before.

Woke up at 4:30 AM. Flew to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Jake, from my hostel, picked me up at the airport. Checked in, showered, and ate lunch. Arranged a private tuk tuk for seeing the ruins the next day with Jake as my driver. Spent the rest of the day napping and relaxing. Ate dinner with another guy from my dorm named Robin (from Germany). Went to bed early to get up early the next day.
