DAY 9: BEAUTY & BARGAINING

We had a delicious breakfast for our final morning in Sisophon. The journey to our first activity of the day was eventful with some people choosing to sleep and others having an overly excited game of Mafia. 




Our first stop was the Siem Reap Silk Farm, which allowed us to see the intricate and traditional methods for producing silk and creating beautiful products.


After the farm, and upon arrival into Siem Reap we stopped for lunch at the Yellow Mango, where we all enjoyed the decor, air conditioning and the first meal options without rice in 10 days.

After lunch and a short stop at the Blossom Cake CafĂ© we headed to our hotel for a well-earned afternoon to catch up on some needed sleep or swim in the pool. 



After dinner at the Red Piano we ventured to the infamous night markets to do some serious haggling for happy pants and Henna, bartering for bugs (yes, bugs!), or just testing the waters on how to negotiate a bargain. Before we finished for the night everyone had a story to tell, some very excitedly, about how they had scored a great deal.
