The six hours to Siem Reap were far more comfortable on the bus than we've been used to in Laos, as the roads here are new and in really good condition. Siem Reap is home to Angkor Wat in the ancient Khmer city of Angkor. Built between the 8th and 12th centuries, it was a vast civiisation that is considred to be one of the most impressive archit...

I've been feeling a little off colour for the past couple of days. No major symptoms, just a general feeling of lethargy and slight stomach discomfort. Hopefully it'll pass. I think the extreme heat is playing it's part as today the temperature was absolutely punishing. The best part the day was spent at the Temples of Angkor. I managed to find ...

Well it's been a while, and what a story to tell! ...not really actually, it's mostly a tale of woe. Once again ive been ill many a time; once my body recovers from one thing i get struck down with another. Sort of out of the frying pan and into another frying pan. Anyways, enough of me windging on in self sympathy, let me tell you what i got do...

Alors la question c'est ... Encore un truc de ouf? ou... Angkor, un truc de ouf? J'opte pour la deuxieme! Car franchement, j'avais Angkor jamais vu un truc aussi impressionnant, aussi grandiose, harmonieux et majestieux. On peut aposer des centaines d'adjectifs qualificatifs et de superlatifs relatifs a la grandeur d'Angkor et je suppose qu'ils ...

Thought you guys might like to see some of Cambodia. More to come I hope! This is the first computer I've found that doesn't take days to load them! We loved Cambodia - the food was great (the best in SE Asia - in my (Amy's) opinion) and the scenery in Siem Reap was great. Definately preferred it to the capital, Phnom Penh, although we saw some ...

The Angkor Wat and assorted hanger on temples are truly remarkable for their size and number. One of the most impressive things for me was the moats surrounding the temples. The moat around Angkor Wat it is 190 metres wide (think 2 football fields end to end) and almost a kilometre by a kilometre square. That's a lot of dirt to dig and remove by...

intanto mi scuso tantissimo con i fans: nemmeno oggi posso mettere le foto perche' sono sprovvista di cavetto per collegare la macchina al pc... pero' vi assicuro che di angkor ne ho fatte veramente tante! non posso dire la stessa cosa invece di phnom penh, ma li non e' colpa mia, e' che nel palazzo reale era vietato mentre nella scuola sinceram...

we hired our man 'lida' and his tuk-tuk for the day and he 'lid' us off into the jungle. after all the hype that the temples of angkor receive, i was braced for a let-down, but i was not disappointed. they are truly spectacular, and up there with petra as a favourite 'ruins' visit. the next day we headed out to the more remote temples in the jun...

After a 6 hour trip in a quite comfortable bus we reached siem Reap, the tourism capital in the north of the country. Just checked in the hotel, eat something and decided to have a calm evening without going out...and prepare for the temples.
