In Hong Kong, Waiting for our Flight Home

After showering and getting cleaned up at the hotel, we took a tuk tuk for $2 down to “Pub Street” in Siem Reap which appears to be backpacker central. There are two alleys off of the Main Street with most of the restaurants listed in the Lonely Planet guide. (One place proudly announced that they were not in Lonely Planet, presumably that they were cheaper and less crowded.) We chose one that was listed and got a sampler plate of dishes, including Amok Fish which is fish baked in banana leaf with coconut milk.

After dinner, we toured the markets and found more cheap stuff to cart home.

Today is a full day and a half of travel. After breakfast at the hotel, we took a car to the airport for our 11:40 am flight to Hong Kong, which was uneventful. They took a long time to get our bags off, but we had to then clear Customs back into Hong Kong and go check-in for our LAX flight that does not leave until 11:45 pm. We had dinner, got through security and then found a bar where we are hanging out now, with about 3.5 hours to boarding.
