Monday afternoon we left Siem Reap to try to catch the Bats coming out of the Bat cave in Battambang. They were still coming out but it was too dark to see it, so we went back the next day to go up to the Wat and the Killing Caves there. I love the view from there. Tuesday, the 3rd we headed back to Phnom Penh and went to the Killing Fields on Wednesday. On the way back, we stopped at Teresa's Electrical to visit this awesome family in the 4th branch. The man of this home is a recent convert. His wife had asked me along time ago if we could stop by with our family. So we did and they were very gracious to chat with us a minute.
We went to the Titanic which as a lot of atmosphere to eat. It resembles the Titanic ship in some places. Benjamin was quite comfortable until Polly saw a rat go past to the cloth by our table. Benjamin hopped up on the table and stayed there. We figured that the rat would be afraid of us and not come back. NOT. It brushed by Holly about midway through our meal. We asked to be moved. I have been here several times and never had a problem. I think where we sat is too close to the river front and that attracts these rodents. I would still go there again because the food is good, but I will never sit near the riverfront again.
The last day of Pollys,Benjamin's and Holly's visit we went to the Ta Mao Zoological Park. They let you be right with the animals in some places. Most are in natural big cages, but the monkey's and the deer are not. The guide was hesitant to take us in with the deer. They had a deer there that was mean, so they cut off his antlers so he wouldnt' hurt anyone. We have been here 2 other times and never had issues. However....yep this deer wouldnt' stop following us and then the guide noticed the deer in the background and that was the mean deer. So he hurried us through this area pretty fast.
We did stop long enough to see a few animals in that particular area .The alligator and the tiger blend in well with the foilage.
The monkey is very friendly because he is blind and likes to touch humans. The guide pets his head, so he stuck out his leg to have it rubbed too. The little otters were hungry. Polly couldn't resist and bought a fish to feed one of them, then they all started reaching out for the fish bowl. They were going to be fed by our guide and other helpers in a few hours.
The bear loves me. Polly, Holly and Benjamin were brave to stand so close to the elephants. This elephant dances to rap by moving it's head and legs back and forth to the beat. Pretty amazing trick.
