Some of you may remember that we were closed a few days in December 2013.
My wife and I made a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia for a short holiday. We wanted to visit Angkor Wat and heard that the weather is quite nice in December. The weather was really good. It was quite cool and there was no rain. It did get a little bit hot in the early afternoon, but generally there was a nice cool wind. We hired a tuk tuk driver who brought us round to Angkor Wat and the more important sites. We really liked Angkor Thom, Ta Prom and Preah Khan. Really quite amazing. Its one thing to see it on TV like in Ancient Aliens, and another to see the ruins of these massive structures in real life. Really wonder how they managed to build these things back in their time. Overall it was a good trip but I think the terrain is more suited to the younger and able bodied people. There are a lot of very interesting temple ruins to see and it requires a fair amount of walking and climbing. Here are some photos. This first one is Angkor Wat at sunrise. We woke up at around 5am and decided to just go. It was already very crowded when we reached the place. Just take a look at the photo with all the people.
