Angkor what?!

This place was worth a day. We spent three. Same as the temples, it all started to look the same after a while.



We grabbed bikes from our guesthouse and peddled around each day. After 8 hrs or so your arse is as flat as a pancake! Jo even got up at like 4am one morning to go see the sunrise - I slept (o: He didn't quite make it but it's the thought that counts. Right? Bugger that!

But it was definitely worth seeing. Amazing what these guys could build way back when. I reckon it would challenge builders today even. Just the size of it and the effort it must have taken. And there were some cool over grown parts...


And there was a wonton street seller on the way and they were divine! Something to look forward to each day.

On the down side there were annoying stalls throughout the place with people yelling "Siir, siiir! You want drink?" etc And this "sir" is not at all how we pronounce it but is instead carefully constructed and pronounced to get the most annoyance and distance achieved each time. 100m off and your ear drums still take a beating!
