Tomb Raider staring Melissa Wallinger and Nadia Weber as Angelina Jolie.... Well our version of the movie isn't quite as exciting but we definitely we running, and climbing through temples like it was nobody's business! First night in Siem Reap, after our private mini bus from Phnom Penh which turned into a dance/karaoke club on wheels, half of ...

So instead of a 5am start to do sunrise at Angkor Wat, our group leader and guide were nice to us and decided to leave that till tomorrow. Instead we visited some of the other temples. First up was Ta Phrom, or the Tomb Raider temple as it seems to be known these days. Not sure if that is a good thing or not but at least everyone seems to know w...

Sal's Birthday! Tuk-tuk to Angkor Thom complex, a square-walled and gated area of temples from around 11th Century. Wonderful Bayon Temple, Sal's favourite...lots of faces carved into stone. Elephant Terrace. Terrace of the Leper King. Ta Phrom: where Tombraider was filmed... Ta Keo Pictures say it all!! A great day...drinks and massage at night.

Day 2 of our Angkor tour and this morning we started off with a quick look at Prasat Kravan - a tiny 5-towered temple unremarkable save for the amazing bas-relief brickwork inside each of the towers. These are the only known examples in Khmer art. We thought we had got there really early and would avoid the sellers but everywhere you go here you...

Life has been so hard and still is as well as ongoing political and police corruption I think have led to people feeling helpless. The Gross National ...

So we have arrived in Cambodia, after a long line in immigration with hot sweaty foreigners, we took a shared taxi to Siem Reap, which took 3 hours. We spent he first day walking around as we always do to familiarize ourselves, then the next day we were off to see Angkor Wat. It was amazing but as for Siem Rep it is the only exiting thing it has...

Finally added some photos from months ago. We spent a total of six days in Siem Reap, three of which we spent touring the Angkor temples. The three day pass was 40 dollars, a bit expensive but of course we had to pay it. Was nice to escape the depressing reality of modern Cambodia and frolic in its former glories. The Khmer empire at its height ...
