Well I had a 3 day pass so I thought I'd better use it... ;)
Today I set off on my own as all the others from the tour had left this hotel and moved on.
I found myself a Tuk tuk driver that was willing to take me out to the temples and off we went. First stop Preah Khan, and I think I was there for about 1 1/2 hours, it was sensational, there were so few people and it was just brilliant, although I am having a little trouble right now remembering exactly what it was like as I went to 6 temples today on my tour. Apart from Preah Khan and Ta Prom which I revisited from day 1, the others were comparitively small, but still equally beautiful, and I took many, many photos. Two of the temples I visited today were much older than the others, built in the 10th Century, and strangely out of fired bricks rather than the basalt rock of the other temples.
I am a bit distracted at the moment, so I can not think of all the things I wanted to say about today, there is a very loud prcession wandering up and down the street and it is quite distracting, so sorry.
Anyway after my 3rd day of temples, I can probably say that I am templed out, so I wandered down to the old Siem Reap Market to do a spot of shopping. YES you did read that correctly, I voluntarily went shopping in a market by myself, and it wasn't to bad either. See miracles do happen!
I have to finish up now as I have to get back to my hotel and then back downtown for my last dinner in Cambodia :( I am definately in love with their food, although I think I am going to have a hamburger tomorrow, it's been 2 weeks and i am having a bit of withdrawal!
