CAMBODIA - SIEM REAP

THE TEMPLES OF ANKOR in SIEM REAP ..wow

So I took the plane to Siem Reap and got there very fast. At the airport I wanted to get a taxi. But the guys were no way only one bag take motorcycle ...and off I went to town for $2. The driver having my backbag in the front ....funny and I got there safe.



I found a guesthouse near the center ...its nice and cheap and clean ... and close to everything at night and the market ....mhhhh shopping


I arranged with my driver to pick me up again next morning to do my first day of TEMPLE DAY ....
I got myself a 3 day pass ...$ 40  ... not that cheap. But worth it.

So on my first day I did the big ONES like TA PROHM, ANKOR THOM with BAYON and ANKOR WAT and other smaller one which were great ...


WOW this is amazing  ...they are sooo great an there are sooo may of them ...all different. There are a lot f tourist around here and some temples can get very busy. I believe Japan must be empty right nw, becaue all the japanese are here ..hihhihihi.


But some can still manage to find some temples with not so many tours getting of a bus.

Coconut juice  ...mhhh




BAYON


ANKOR WAT


and after ALL the walking and climbing in and around temples ...mhhh foot massage at the night market



TEMPLE DAY 2:

So for day 2 I hired a TUK TUK ..very comfy ...and fun to ride ..He picked me up in the morning and we went to some of the more far away temples. Inlcuding a nice place in the jungle ...


I will not go into detail with the names and history of the temples, if you want info, get it online. It is just toooooooo much.

And the children are great here, so cute and adorable ...NO wonder Angelina Jolie picked one up here when she was filming Tomb Raider in Ta Prohm .... 

So I have 2 more days here ... let's see  ...more temples, massages, a khmer cooking class .... more food ... ahhh and more shopping ...

see ya  ....by the way I will be flying back to Hong Kong on the 26th of November YEAH and getting back t Vienna on December 1st ...
