Yesterday Peter took a turn for the worst, he was still having diarrhoea but was also feeling queasy and feverish so I asked the hotel to call a doctor. The doctor diagnosed Peter with gastroenteritis and gave him antibiotics. Luckily we had nothing planned and was just going to look around the town and relax so we stayed at the hotel while Peter recovered.
Today Peter felt a lot better so we left the hotel at 7am this morning and visited a number of the smaller temples - Preah Khan (our favourite), Nean Peak, Ta Som, East Mebon & Pre Rup.

We enjoyed looking around all the temples and whizzing around on the tuk tuk between each temple but by lunch time, and after 5 temples, we were hot and templed-out so went in to town for lunch and relaxed at the hotel in the afternoon.
In the evening we walked in to the centre of Siem Reap for dinner. On the way we came across a carnival just about to start so we stopped to watch.
We went to a pizza restaurant tonight which claims to be the best pizza in Siem Reap and it was very good. The only downside was that we were sat on the edge of the restaurant which was outdoors and we had some kids begging for food - we of course felt bad stuffing our face with pizza and gave them some but it is very sad to see especially when they are so young.
