Angkor

Angkor is very big, the temples great and the weather hot... During 3,5 days we visited the temples here around Siem Reap. Angkor Wat, the most famous one, is only one of many which can be found in this aera. There are so many, that we still haven't seen all of them, but at least the most interesting one's. The distances from one temple to the other is so big that it's not recommand to walk, 3 days by Tuktuk were comfortable and one by bicycle which was very nice, but sweaty...
Siem Reap, the town closest to the ruins, is full of tourists and only getting up early can avoid being surround of people. Sunset and sunrise is very beautiful, but too early, already before 6 o'clock it starts...
Well, enough temples at the moment, tomorrow we are going to Kratie, which is on the Mekong river.
