After a rather interesting start in Phnom Pehn, we headed north to Siem Reap to see the temples at Angkor. Expecting nothing less than to be blown away, this UNESCO site did not disappoint. We expected to spend three days visiting the temples but stayed for 6 days to allow for some reflection and break time between visits. Some of this break time was caused by alcohol consumption...oops. At least it was an Angkor themed bar: Angkor What?
Although Siem Reap is a a big tourist draw and the city is at times over-run with barang (tourists) we found a quaint little guest house away from the masses to relax from temple viewing and the heat. It had a tv and this started our morning obsession with LIVE olympic broadcasts.
Angkor Wat is the big draw and the largest temple in the area and is also the busiest, although Bayon and some of the smaller complexes are exquisite. We've included three photo galleries of the temples as every angle was photogenic.
