An early start. This time 4.30am !. We got a guide and a tuk tuk driver for $58US arranged until 2pm. It was a very worthwhile indulgence. The temples are about 8 miles north of our hotel which is in the very south of Siem Reap town.
We got to Angkor for sunrise at 6am which was special but too cloudy to be spectacular. We explored the temples at Bayon and Ta Prohm. Essentially all you can effectively do in a day before it gets too hot to tolerate Korean girls in disproportionately large hats.
We were in the pool for 2pm back at the hotel and out again at 4.30pm to get to the temple at Phnom Krom for sunset. Once again repeat per Angkor i.e too cloudy!!
Returning via the Cambodian BBQ restaurant where I dined on Crocodile. Obviously I wanted to say "We are in a hurry, make it snappy" but at this restaurant you cook the food yourself so it would not be funny. Not that it would be anyway but....
Tomorrow it's the Tonle Sap boat to Phnom Penn getting up at six, so it's effectively a lie in !.
