Nice cosy place for that much needed drink after exploring the town.
Upstairs: Internet access (paid)
Balcony: great for catching up on your reading. Overlooks the river.
Scene from the balcony. Can you see the river? Overhead wires make for an ugly picture.
It says it all.
Tut-tut driver brought me to see two guesthouses but I finally settled on my original one: the weirdly named "Shadow of Angkor Guesthouse" for US$15. Everything here is richly "wooden". Housed in an old French building, it overlooks a sluggish river. Has paid internet access.
There's a nice restaurant below the Guesthouse, and with tempting prices like these my customary high tea was replaced by "high beer". US prices notwithstanding.
I rented a bike at US$3 and cycled around town and to Angkor Wat.
Looking down from my balcony I watched these Cambodian ladies laughing and gossiping. At this point all my fears about residual Khmer Rouge fighters still lurking in the shadows vanished. I breathed easy from then on.
