Cambodia!

The very classy statues that graced the courtyard at our Siem Reap hotel. Amok - classic Khmer dish of fish braised with coconut - yum! The temples were amazing feats of architecture and beauty. Angkor Wat at sunrise! Contemplation... The faces of Bayon temple at Angkor Thom. The jungle overtaking Ta Prohm... Torrential downpour at Angkor Wat - the gods disapproved of this visit... Fierce monkeys at play! We arrived in Siem Reap after many transports on Friday - first a longboat to the ferry on Ko Phi Phi, then a 1.5 hour ferry to Krabi, then a taxi to the town for lunch, a taxi to the airport, a flight to Bangkok, then a flight to Siem Reap and finally our hotel picked us up from the airport! Quite a day, but now we have seen more temples than possibly imaginable while visiting the Angkor Wat area. There is a temple or ruin every direction you look here. The town is completely built around the tourism for the temples. Khmer cuisine so far has been tasty - lots of fresh water fish and herbs. Staying at the Central Boutique Ankgor Hotel, very nice with a delectable pool! Went to see Angkor Wat at sunrise this morning! Quite stunning!
