Saturday morning we woke up super early to catch the 5:00am bus to the Thailand/Cambodia border. It was a pretty nice drive on paved roads and great scenery. We got to the border by 9:00am to find no more paved roads and lots and lots of mud! First impressions of Cambodia...... muddy, muddy, dirty, poor, and did I mention muddy? But as the day went on we fell in love with Cambodia. It is such a neat place.
We took a taxi to Siem Reap where we would be staying and where the famous Angkor Wat is located. The road from the border to the city wasn't paved and had a ton of pot holes. It started raining a little bit and our car got stuck three times before we made it to the city. It was quite the adventure. We saw a lot of fun things on our drive. One of our favorites was motorcycles carrying pigs. The picture above was taken at one of the best parts of the road, unfortunately we didn't get a picture of some of the bigger pigs. We saw the biggest pigs we've ever seen. Some of the motorcycles carried these big baskets with lots of tiny live piglets all crammed together.
This is our taxi once we arrived at our hotel. It was quite the ride.
