Ankor What?


Managed to get up in time for my 5:00 pick-up at the hotel, to take me to Ankor Wat in time to view the sunrise – and hopefully miss the crowds.  The spectacle was certainly worth getting up early for.  I was able to do pretty much all of the central group of temples before flaking out at 1:00 pm.  Certainly one of the great sites of the world that should be on anyone’s must-see list.

Afternoon spent relaxing by the hotel pool before another evening exploring Siem Rap and sampling more great Khmer food – the amok coconut curry is now one of my favourite dishes.  Booked ticket for boat trip to Phnom Penh.  Watched news on TV – Thailand seems to be heading for civil war, so glad to be out of there.

This all looks rather familiar - I had my photo taken on the very same spot at Ta Prohm two weeks ago! http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lB5uj853OzTrDKEeEzU7XQ?authkey=XKnYaHq1xYk
