When we returned to the city that evening, we walked around trying to find the bus station. We asked several people where the bus station was and everyone told us that they didn’t know and that we should take the boat to Siem Reap because the roads are very bad. We thought it was a little suspicious that no one knew where the bus station was and that none of the guest houses advertised bus tickets to Siem Reap. We were suddenly curious about whether the road was actually as bad as everyone said or whether there was some conspiracy in the city to get everyone to take the boat. We finally found the bus station and purchased our tickets for the next morning. The first couple of hours of the ride was very smooth. Then we hit a dirt road with lots of potholes, and the bus suddenly starting shaking and bouncing all over the place. After a little while the bus had to pull over so about 20 people could throw up. I get motion sick very easy, so I was quite proud of myself for not needing to join the crowd. I just closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. Sonja was amazing! She read a book the entire way without getting sick. I’m not sure how she did it. Overall, I thought this bus ride was more pleasant than our ride to Battambang without air conditioning or windows that open. When we arrived in Siem Reap we found a cheap guest house and arranged for a driver to take us around the ruins in the morning. Then we spent the rest of the evening at the Blue Pumpkin sharing a smoothie and using the internet.
