We woke up early morning and left hotel around 5 pm local time to leave for Angkor watt just to watched the sunrise.We inform the hotel staff to pack breakfast the night before. We waited for the sun to rise but the sun was covered by the clouds.
Anyway, we proceeded to have our packed breakfast at the restaurant near the lotus lake in front of the main Angkor Wat entrance.
Angkor watt has north, south, east and west entrance (roughly pronounce by locals as ta Rik, talek, tako, tapit). We visited the third level where our efforts to climb the stairways to " Heaven" with the majestic view of the scenery and building structure.
We learned that thank you means "aw-koon" while" kit luy" means bill. The local favorite noodle was called " num banh chok".
After that we headed to Banteay Strei, also known as the women's temple.
According to our tour guide, the temple was mainly built from pink sandstone, which contributes to its long lasting sculpture pattern.
Before heading back to the hotel for a long rest, we had lunch at Rom Chong Angkor.
The chicken together with the famous fermented fish cheese know as "prahok" taste perfect. The soups and the amok is very good.
After that is rest time to pay our sleep debt for waking up early in the morning. We stop by the stall back to get some palm sugar and their famous khmer palm wine.
Next is dinner time at 5pm local time at Rosana.
We had dinner at Rosana Chinese restaurant before heading upstairs for the opera show at he same building.
The show was good. Then back to the hotel before we call it a day.
The next day (Day 4) , we manage to grab a blue pumpkin ice-cream before we board the plane. Farewell Cambodia, we shall visit again next time.
