(Bun Lung- is how it was in written in Laos)At 8:30pm-ish we were immediately swarmed by a dozen people trying to get us to stay at their guest house as we walked off the bus.
Finally we found and ATM for Karrie we decided to stay at a place that was recommended by a very persistent tour guide. (I learned later on his name was Mr.Pov and his Australian girl friend is named Jenny, so I guess that he won’t forget my name)
We gave in, the tour guide team took us to the (Tribal) guesthouse on their moto bikes and off we went. We checked out the room it was acceptable, all we cared about was having a comfy bed which they did have. The room they showed us is $6US for $3per/person. There are places that are $2 a night but we were to worn out for the day of bussing around to keep searching.
After a shower Mr.Pov escorted us to his family restaurant to grab some local Cambodian food. A plate of food and unlimited rice goes for about 8000r. I believe at this present moment you can get about 4000r for one US dollar.
He showed us a map and talked about all the things that we can do while we are visiting Ban Lung. I am/was interested in home stays around SE Asia but it seems that even for two days and one night including all meals still will run you about$35US per person. Maybe next time I will do home stays in Laos since I liked the locals so much there, I need to spend more time in Cambodia before I decide to participate in a home stay excursion.
Tomorrow we are going to sleep in and hit up the market in the city.
We have planned for Wednesday to see three waterfalls, one swimmable lake and climb a mountain for the beautiful sunset. (Totalling $12US per person for the day including pick up and drop off from/to our guest house)
After we are well rested and ready to make another move, we get on a 12 hour bus ride to Siem Reap.
