Day 7 - Temples of Angkor

Argh! Still can't get any pissing photos up... and so much to show. Today was amazing. We travelled 2 hours away from the town to go to a temple totally engulfed by the surrounding jungle. Clambered over rocks and into hidden rooms for much of the morning in the overpowering heat. It was incredible though, especially as we were the only people there for much of it. Then on another hour to a couple of hindu temples with intricate carvings built from a reddy pink stone that looked awesome. In the late afternoon we climbed up a temple which sits on the top of a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside and the great Angkor Wat (saving the best till last!) and watched the sun come down as a storm rolled in. Another great day, I just wish I could show some pics - might have to wait until we're in Vietnam. Tomorrow's our last day here before we get a boat on Friday to Battambang along what we've been told is a beautiful stretch of river.
