I don’t get what it is with everyone in Siem Reap talking about sunrises and sunsets all the time. Juli is apparently a big fan of sunrises and sunsets, and after hearing people going on about how amazing the sunset at Phnom Bakhen is, she just had to go and check it out for herself. Since I had nothing better to do anyway, I agreed to go along. The Phnom Bakhen temple is on a small hill and involves a short trek to the top. By the time we got there, the place was packed with people. After a long wait, I finally scored some places to sit; and saw the sun go down.

Sunset at Phnom Bakhen

Juli, Talita, Paul & I met for dinner later in the evening, after which we said goodbye to Paul. He would be going to Bangkok next, then to India in a few months, and would continue travelling at least until October.

Juli, Talita & I then went to a place called Molly Malone’s bar where Ryan was playing tonight. Back at the guesthouse, I said goodbye to Juli who was catching an early morning bus to Bangkok, would travel for a few more months in South East Asia before heading back home to Germany.
