Siem Reap, July 30, 2012
It is day 3 in Siem Reap and its been great. The city is unlike any other city in Cambodia, full of nice restaurants, spas and a million ways to make tourist spend their money. The first day we did not do much, just walked around and discovered the city. That is been one of the great things about traveling for a long time, one realizes that doing "nothing"is as much fun as seeing a million things. When there is no rush to go over a checklist, the trip becomes more of a personal relationship with the place..it us fun.
Of course, seeing things is important, is just the sense of urgency that changes.
The second day we went to see the temples and they are incredible. Really incredible, I am not much of a temple person, but seeing those structures, the figures, the stone work and the size one can only say wooaaaahhh
The first day we hired a tuk tuk for what they call the small tour. About 12 kilometers. We saw Angkor wat and Bayon.
The second day we hired bikes and did the big tour, about 5 kilometers and a numbers of temples. Each one nicer than the other. I have to be honest, at the end i was a bit temple tired..specially after having seen so many temples in the region over the last 4 months.
Tomorrowwe are still deciding what to do..Alma wants more temples..we wil see..I guess we will see more temples.
On Wednesday my time in Cambodia ends and w are heading to BK to meet Pin for her birthday.then back to HK for a few days before continuing the trip.
It is very funny, the country i had plan to spend the less time and I ended up spending almost a month here. Its been a good journey and i have met incredible people..but it is time to see something different.
