Day 31/32 - feeling under the weather

31.05. / 01.06.19

Once again, two uneventful days are summarized. We are both feeling a bit under the weather from the journey, and I (Alex) am even a bit sick on the second day. Sore throat, discomfort, body aches - everything within a harmless range. We spend the two days resting a bit on the terrace, exploring the city in the afternoon, and doing some shopping (e.g., fruits, vegetables, and fresh limes and ginger from the market for tea). Jonna digs through some mountains (literally) of second-hand clothes, and I stroll around a bit.

We have already found out that Cambodia does not differ in terms of prices from Thailand and take advantage of it. When we return to the accommodation, a very, very small dog entertains our boredom for a while. The little rascal looks like, and feels like, a Steiff stuffed animal. By the way: All other dogs in Siem Reap are strangely not as trusting as the ones in Thai cities, so Jonna in particular looks at the strays with great unease.

For dinner on both days, we have instant noodles with fresh fruits and vegetables. The hostel owners, by the way, provide a kettle, bowls, glasses, and (most importantly) drinking water as much as you want. The two days pass without much excitement. A little phase of low motivation and enthusiasm has been overcome, at least.
