Angkor Archaeological Park
May 24, 2009
By getting up at 4:00 a.m., we tried to catch the sun rising at the front of Angkor Wat, yet we just saw a nice cloudy background instead. Among Angkor Wat are several other temples. Like most cities in Cambodia, transportation along temples is just a matter of raising a hand or halfway saying "tuk-tuk," which is a motorbike with an enclosed carriage attached to the back. Or, some people, like Sonja, Lissa, and Ynhi, just call for an elephant. It felt as if we were in the movie Tomb Raider as we explored temples of Bayon and Ta Prohm. Finally at 5:45 p.m., we made way to the hotel but not before catching a spectacular and panoramic view of the sun departing Angkor Wat. We found what we were calling for.
