Angkor What?
We finally arrived in Siem Reap after a very long day of traveling by bus. It turned into a 14 hour bus ride, including the few hours that we stopped in Phnom Penh. It was mostly a pretty smooth sail, except for at one point the bus driver stopped on the side of the road to pick up a bunch of his friends that apparently needed a ride. At one point …

Temples
... nooks and crannys. Was great fun to explore. We also explored Angkor Thom (the central city) and Ta Phrom, the temple which has been taken over by the jungle (and featured in tomb raider!). Huge trees have grown up through the walls and on the rooftops of the temples. Massive vines and roots are spread everywhere across the floor. We headed back into town and had a delicious meal of pork loin and pizza (we were both feeling a bit homesick and needed western food) and a couple ...
