Amazing Temples of Angkor Wat

I arrived in Siem Reap on Sunday after an awesome 6 hour boat ride from Phnom Penh. The Tonel River and lake were beautiful, although sitting on the roof of a boat for 6 hours after just taking doxycycline is probably not the smartest thing I have ever done, I know this now as I sit looking like a beetroot! So Sunday afternoon was a very lazy time, we wandered the markets of Siem Reap and watch a guy trying to sell some kind of energy booster drink by the river, that was fun. After a quick dip in the hotel pool we headed off to a very cool bar called Angkor What? Very relaxed, although like this entire town, very Westernised. It is such a huge change from Phom Penh, and I think Ilike Phnom Penh better, but we are here for the Temples, so the temples we shall visit. Yesterday was the best day EVER! We didn't have to be out until 8, so we were able to have a sleep in for the first time!!!!! However I was still awake at around 4 yay! All up we visited 3 temple complexes yesterday, Ta Prohm first (home of the Tomb Raider Tree), which was sensational, although there were so many pushy people, I think I will actually be going back there tomorrow on my own. From there we headed to the ancient city of Angkor Tom, this was the old capital back in the 12th century before the Khamir abandoned it for Phnom Penh. It was home to over 1 million citizens and it is a very cool place, especially the Banyon. After that we came back to Siem Reap for lunch and a siesta before heading out again to the awesome Angkor Wat, the main monestary complex that unlike the other sites was not abandoned, but instead cared for by the monks for several hundred years. We remained at Angkor Wat for sunset, which behind the smog was pretty spectacular. Today I was alone :( the tour ended last night with a final group dinner and a few quiet drinks at the Laundry before heading back to the hotel. There was one other couple and myself staying for a couple of extra days so we arranged to meet up this morning at 8 to head off to the outer temple complex of Banteay Srei. This is one of the older, and far more intricate temples in the complex, and although by tuk tuk it took 1 1/2 hours to travel the 37km to the temple, I have to say that it was worth it. From there we visited another temple whose name escapes me at the moment, I'll have to go and check the photos, but then we had yet another awesome lunch at a Khmir restaurant, before heading to Banteay Kdei, which I have to say is one of my favorites so far, there were a lot less people and it was just spectacular, it was in a bit more of a ruinous state than some of the other buildings, but that just added to its character. We arrived back at the hotel around 4:30pm and now I am in need of a nice cool shower and a nap before dinner and a good nights sleep so I can do it all again tomorrow!
