Siem Reap - Final day

On my last day of my visit to Siem Reap, I decided to cancel my plans to visit the floating village at Tonle Sap Lake. The season was dry, and according to the local review some boats got stuck on the mud during this season. I did some googling on the web and read some unfavourable reviews on the boat operator's business monopoly as well.

The best time to visit the lake would be in the month of October, and perhaps I could make this excuse for a second trip in future ;) 

Throughout the day I spend it doing some last minute shopping at Old Market Road for the girls - bought some silver items and some goodies I saw along the streets.

 There was a lot of fish spa around the Old Market.


 This lady is selling chicks or duck fetus egg - local delicacy

 This cafe interests me :)

As night was approaching, I got back to the hotel to find the shower is barely working. End they gave me a new room. Apparently it is a showroom, with balcony and pretty flowers around the room. Such good hospitality :)

Decided to go for a 2 hour body massage before heading to the airport.

At the end of the day, I realised it was time for me to go home. I hope to complete my Tonle Sap trip in near future :)
