We hired a tuk tuk driver (moped pulling a cart) for the day to drive us around the temples of Angkor for $13. We started at Angkor Wat at 6am and headed to the other famous temples from there (Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, you've seen these before). It's hard to do them justice here in a blog, probably the highlight of our trip. Imagine Machu Piccu or Rome still standing instead of in ruins. The temple complexes are massive, intricately detailed, and awe-inspiring. Hopefully a couple of pics can give you an idea.
The Cambodian people are wonderful and always eager to help (even if normally they have an angle for a little money). Food is great - been eating Khmer style currys and soups. Lots of ginger and lemongrass. Fruits are exotic and markets leave your head spinning. Too much fun!!
