Cambodia Day 2

You guessed it...day 2 was a lot more temples!

Prasat Preah Khan

Neak Pean

When the water is full above, the fountain below would be spouting.

Lawn mowers

Ta Som

East Mebon

And the last one of the day...! Banteay Samre

That night we took a private boat ride to a fishing village on Tonle Sap Lake which is one of Asia's largest lakes during the wet season. The village had everything from floating schools to churches to restaurants with nearly 6,000 residents.
This is an orphaned boy paddling in a large bowl out to a boat asking for "one dolla". Our boat driver told us not to give the kids any money because they have to give it to the police. Also, all of the orphans (roughly 100 in this village) live in the floating school.
Next stop: Thailand. Almost done!

Cambodia Day 1

This will probably be the least wordy blog of all due to the fact that it's hard to put into words what we did and saw in Cambodia. We spent 3 nights in Siem Reap and spent two full days touring the Angkor Wat park. Read about it here because I will not do it justice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat

We hired a tuktuk driver for two days who proceeded to pick us up at 4:30am so that we could see the sunrise over the temple.
By this point in the day (not even 6:00am, we were already sweating profusely. So hot!)
The moat surrounding the temple.

Can you see me?

Next was Bayon Temple

Baphuon Temple

So steep!

Elephant Terrace

Our home for 2 days

Chau Say Tevoda

Ta Keo Temple

Ta Prohm

Pre Rup

Banteay Kdei

Sras Srang

After a full day we headed back to the hotel to relax and clean up and then were back at it again at sunset!

Phnom Bakheng

That's Angkor Wat in the background.

From there we went to a dinner show that had beautiful traditional Cambodian dancing and then we called it a night early so that we could be up early again the next day.
