Angkor Wat - small temples tour!
... that has a diuretic as I needed to pee every hour after that! After midday we headed off to the minor temples and they are loads. We decided to use our book rather than a guide and I don't think we learnt that much but honestly you do get to a point when they are stones with apsara's and Buddha etc! They are beautiful but as Sunil was the first to say it ' I am all templed out.' I was. Thanks to my bamboo t shirt I wasn't soaking in sweat but I was covered ...
Fancy dinner and snapshots of our Cambo life
... and my big bed but I don't feel like I have achieved what I set out to achieve. I guess I didnt know what I wanted to achieve so its hard to measure. Again I say I am learning to be grateful, $1 or $2 here can mean so so much to them and to us its something we throw in a jar or in our car centre console- but it's a meal for them, a whole days work.

By now it was getting a bit late and we'd drifted quite far out so set off back on a journey to Phnom Bakheng. It was a long way with one small diversion to watch the monkeys play by the river ( the baby monkeys were so cute!). We made it to the site but didn't realise there was a steep ...
Temples of Angkor, Part 1
... in. As you must have your photo taken to put on your pass, it isn't uncommon to spend up to an hour in line. (Lance did back in 2010.) But we had no wait at all, just walked up to the ticket window. (We opted for the three days in seven pass ($40 per person) and plan to rest a day between each foray.) So we were headed out to our first temple by 7:30. The drive through the Cambodian country side was lovely, and we ...
