My Love Affair with Cambodia.. continues...

More pics from my recent trip.... (i promise pics of other places soon enuf)

Sitting on top of the world... love the view at Angkor Wat.. after that quick & almost breathless climb (adrenalin i tell you!) I just sat there and took in the view....


Bantey Srey... I just had to sit pretty... it's the temple for the queen... the 'Ladies temple'


Man... even these trees make me look small... I'm no Lara Croft.. but hey... somebody's gotta keep these trees apart and all!

Cambodia Rootz!

One of my favorite sights to see in Cambodia... at Siem Reap's Angkor ruins... the Angkor Thom aka Tomb Raider place....

Look at these roots....
the temple was actually destroyed due to the overgrowth of these ancient trees. The trees grew over the temples which was one of the reasons the ruins remained hidden for a long time. It was only in the recent years that the temples were discovered and cleaned up.

To visit the temples, you will need to purchase a day pass for USD20 that will pretty much allow you to visit the Angkor temples.


My advice on visiting the temples is to go during the non-monsoon season in order to view the sunrise at the Angkor Wat, visit the temples, in particular, Angkor Thom, Bantey Srey, Bayon, and enjoy the sunset over Angkor Wat from the hill top across. There are a number of guides available to bring you around and excite you with the history of the Angkor temples.

Bring plenty of film and or an extra 4GB of SD card space... :D

Enjoy!
