Leaving Siem Reap

Thursday was a travel day by bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.  Oh, the things you see.  So much poverty outside the cities.  The roads are very narrow and not in very good shape.  They are shared by   big trucks, cars, bicycles, motos, cow s pulling carts, motos pulling carts, bicycles pulling carts and if there isn't enough confusion on the roads you have people setting up their stands right on the side of the road selling everything - fruits, vegetables, chickens $ ducks ( I'm  sure oven ready),  baskets and much more.  We arrived at the bus stop and before you could even collect your bags, I'm sure 50 Tuk Tuk drivers pounced on us to see if they could take us to their hotel.  We were to be picked up so I knew we had a ride.  I'm getting very good at saying 'no' and walking away.  Once again this took us most of the day so we weren't able to check anything out.
