Angkor Wat
Well we think we were some of the last Singapore Inseaders to make it to the famous ruins of Angkor Wat. After hearing so many others say how amazing it was we were a bit worried that our expectations were set to high and we would be dissapointed - well we weren't, they were spectactular! And it helped that we got very lucky with our timing at the temples and had very little crowds, even though most hotels were fully booked.
We flew in New Years Eve to a bit of hotel disorganization but thankfully we had a bed to sleep in, in the end, although due to the mix up we missed the buffet dinner banquet and ended up with a very low key New Years, oh well. Doug's parents flew in and joined us New Years Day to start our year by looking at the past. Hiring tuk-tuk driver Vanna worked out really well and was a much better way to see the temples then by car or bus as it allowed us all a window seat with a great view.
It seemed weird that we were allowed to climb all over the temples but it sure made it more fun then looking at them from afar.

Looks very Indiana Jones-y. Is that offensive?
Can't wait til you're over here, I'm sure I'll be reading your blog going 'oh, we should have done that, seen that, eaten that, stayed there'. Way to make the most of your opportunities!
There we have added another picture that looks even more Indiana. Although it was actually Tomb Raider that was filmed here.
Hi Folks
I am catching up with your blog! The silk weaving picture is amazing! Do you have any more - also the tree roots growing over the building - mmm very tempting to plan a visit.
I am supposed to be working!
