Wednesday Night Girls and Chaperone

Kate and Katie arrived on Thursday lunch time and we rolled up only a few minutes after they had booked in at their hotel. It was great to see them! We spent the evenings with them and they toured the Angkor temples during the days.

Thursday night, we treated ourselves to some typical Khymer cuisine - street food. See below for the exquisite and luxurious setting.

After the gourmet meal, we tootled round to the Funky Munky for the Thursday night pub quiz, that some of you may have heard of before. The questions were particularly difficult and you can see who took charge and decided the right answers and the guesses! Garry was pleased of beer drinking company and took the opportunity to order a large container. The team name was supposed to be wednesday night girls and pinup, but the scoremaster mis read the name and thought it read pimp!
We introduced the girls to Peter and you can see they make a lovely trio.


On Friday, we went for another traditional Cambodian meal - khymer eat your weight bbq. Unfortunately, we were too busy gabbing to get any photographs. Next, we paid a visit to the Angkor Wat bar for some buckets of pop. Look out for the T shirts back in Beverley.
We went for the Purple Rain cocktails in the Night Market.

We went for a trip out to the countryside as Kate wanted a picture of a water buffalo, but we were also lucky enough to see an orphanage and village school and we found them yet another temple they hadn't seen. As you can see, they kept the tuk tuk driver happy.

Kate and Katie treated us on Saturday to a lovely meal at a swanky hotel. We watched the Cambodian Khymer Rouge history film and caught a fleeting glimpse of some Apsara dancing.

We had a lie in on the Sunday and they got up at 6am to go to Phnom Phen.
It was a great few days, not long enough but good to catch up.
A big thank you to the girls for bringing over the Sunday Times and magazines and thank you for those in Beverley for donating the reading material. If you have a 2009 diary, that you were not expecting to get, please send it on or ask Kate!!!
There's a chance we will catch up with some more friends in New Zealand and then Australia. Anyone else fancy meeting up with us?
