Day 5: Breakfast, followed by a US$1 ride to Artisans d' Angkor where you can see craftsman at work in stone sculpturing, lacquering, wood carving and silk painting. From there, we took advantage of their free transport service and made a trip to their silk farm. Somehow, we took a wrong turn, entered from the point of exit and ended up viewing whole silk making process from end to beginning, rather than the other way round. (Very educational but it's hard not to wonder... 1 life for every 400m of silk fiber... how many for a silk scarf? ). We went back to the hotel.The big one packed. The small one fiddled with my iphone... I slept. We went out again for lunch near the old market US$10 on more vegetarian rice rolls, fried eggplant with minced pork, banana flower salad, french fries. Flight was smooth and the little one slept all the way, not even knowing that we had a 45 min layover at Phnom Penh.
