| Waiting For Connecting Bus to Kratie |
Day 4 was a travel day. We bused it from Siem Reap to Kratie ($9, 9 hrs.) We passed through “Spiderville, ” a region in Cambodia that eats deep fried tarantulas but we did not come across hawkers of the delicacy. But we did find fried crickets!

Did we try the crickets? You betcha we did. Not as good as a silkworm, but not gross either. They tasted a little like a greasy mushroom with a crunch!
Kratie is know for its beautiful Mekong river sunsets, but we arrived too late and missed it. We headed to the elephant region in far eastern Cambodia (Sen Monorom) early in the morning so we”ll have to catch a Mekong sunset in Laos.
Looks like you're having a great time. Those elephants looked like they were getting a little too close for comfort. It's nuts to think you guys are on the other side of the planet washing elephants and eating crickets while we're here freezing our butts off.
