Wandering

Today was spent wandering the streets of Battambang to see what we could find. We explained to the owner of the hotel that we would stay another night but he failed to recognise us and kept saying, "no rooms, no rooms", until we showed him our room key! He smiled showing off his sparkling gold teeth and all was ok!

We researched a walking tour and had maps to follow but we just decided to wander! We had hoped to meet our street food noodles man for lunch, but he wasn't in the spot we had found him yesterday!

We saw lots of interesting things from a giant statue of a man with a cobra to a Buddhist monk playing on his laptop at a temple.
Oh, and guess who had arrived when we got back to the hotel??? The noodle man!

You may have noticed we talk about food a lot, that's because the food here is so good! Today, we even discussed creating a restaurant guide to the world after eating 2 sensational meals of delicious local food! Tomorrow we definitely need a little 'eating' rest!
