We then came up with a list of things we would like to do whilst in Siem Reap. Today we planned to go to the Old Market and then have a massage and maybe a make-over. It is a girls trip after all!
View from the balcony:
Once ready we set out to the Old Markes which were a labarynth of tiny stalls selling souvenirs, fish, fruit and jewellery for very cheap prices. We stopped half way to have some lunch and a restaurant. The waiter brought over a menu which was massive comparable to the amount of pages in the bible!! Kelsey and I had Luk Lok, and Sophie had pumpkin and tofu curry. Very yummy and only $3! (I think you get by now how much we are enjoying the very cheap food prices!!!!).
After spending even more money in the markets, we headed back to the hostel to drop off our purchases and cool down (it was very very hot today) before finding 'Seeing Hands', the massage place we found.

Seeing hands employs blind people as masseurs, so for $8 each, we went for a full body massage. It was so nice, if a little bit painful, but we now all feel completely relaxed. The room was pitch black with three beds for our massage and it took around an hour and 15 minutes so well worth the money!






I see you fell for the blind masseur trick...oldest one in the book!! Reminds me of a joke involving a nun in a bath and a blind man.....
