Siem Reap / Angkor

Cambodia

After a six hour journey in a bus with air con that dosent work very well and some dodgy Cambodian karaoke CD on the TV on repeat, we arrived in Siem Reap.

We arrived at our $4 a night hotel, which had satellite TV and a bonus of around 15 crocodiles in the back garden/pond - which also featured on the menu.

Unfortunately for me i have spent the majority of the time in Siem Reap feeling the 'side-effects' of our anti-malaria drug, which meant i spent most of my time on the toilet/bed.

Amongst other things, we went to see traditional Khmer dancers, which needless to say was Servanes idea and of course we saw the temples. The Temples of Angkor took three days, we saw around 20 temples, covering 100 sq km, walked about 10 miles and climbed up and down around 1000 steps. I think were ok for temples for a little while.
