Cambodia day 7 – Siem Reap

Hired bikes again today and our first stop is a local barbers to get Andy a hair cut.   We then cycle into town to look for a decent internet connection as the one in the hotel is proving very unreliable and frustrating.  Apparently there is some problem with the internet provider in Phnom Penh.  Why that should affect the connection in Siem Reap remains unclear!  We find a good bar/restaurant opposite Le Tigre de Papier and settle down for lunch and a laid back afternoon.  Ironically there’s a signal here but no internet service – perhaps they haven’t paid their bill – and we end up using the Paper Tiger’s connection instead.  Still no luck with Skype though.  We round off the afternoon exploring some of the streets on the west side of the river, stopping to wander through a small local market selling street food.
