Arrival day (well evening actually)

No Blip yesterday, we had a very long journey, left Edinburgh Tuesday lunchtime and arrived in Cambodia Wednesday evening (lost 6hrs in the timezone change)
3 flights on the way
Edinburgh - London (55 mins), both us and our luggage managed to get out of Heathrow terminal 5 in one piece!
London - Bangkok (11hrs), no problems despite the city being under a state of emergency.
Bangkok - Cambodia (55 mins) - flew on Bangkok Airways "Thailand's boutique airline" and very good they were too - mind you there were only 9 of us on the plane!

Managed to negotiate the bizarre and a wee bit intimidating arrivals process at Siem Reap airport where you have to present a photo for your visa and then wait while your passport and application is passed down a line of 12 very smartly uniformed officials who each do something to your papers then pass it on, the whole time not smiling or talking. I was especially tickled to see that despite this very strict process, they still spelt my surname wrongly!

Out and transferred to our hotel, where we were greeted with cold towels and a lovely cold drink. We were even more surprised to hear we'd been upgraded to a junior suite free of charge - we later found this was because there were only appx 30 other guests staying in our 276 room hotel.

The suite we were given was so posh we felt quite intimidated and more than a wee bit guilty.
We'd just booked a standard room facing the town and while it was lovely to have a room facing the swimming pool and so many facilities (2 tvs, a dvd cum stereo, a kitchen, bathroom with both shower and huge bath, a separate second toilet and a chaise lounge in the bedroom) it didn't sit entirely well when we were staying in one of the poorest countries in the world. (I'll save my rant on this subject for a later Blip)
Anyway, we got freshened up then headed down for a quick dinner in one of the hotel's restaurants then back to the room to unpack and collapse for a well needed sleep.
