Well that's one type of Angkor Sunset - the other one was a bit more elusive!! With it being rainy season in Cambodia it usually rains between 4pm and 6pm, so the sunsets have been a bit disappointing. Sunrise at Angkor Wat on the otherhand was beautiful, defintely worth waking up at 4am for!

Bayon Temple....
We've spent just over a week in Siem Reap - plenty of time to explore the temples. We went on an organised tour of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and it was worth having a tour guide if only for his ability to spot this photo opportunity!!
After our sunrise at Angkor Wat we visited Ta Prohm, made famous by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
We then visited a beautiful temple called Banteay Srei, which is about 35km outside of Siem Reap. This was probably our favourite temple - the carvings were so intricate.
We decided to take a break from the temples and do another cooking class. It was good fun. Jon made a banana flower salad, while I made fresh spring rolls. For our mains I made the traditional Khmer dish of Amok and Jon made Khmer chicken with bok choi - really lookimg forward to recreating these recipes at home. As with Vietnamese food, the food in Cambodia tastes so fresh.
A highlight of our time in Siem Reap was our fish massage on the first night!! A really strange sensation - I'm still not sure whether it was nice feeling and they didn't seemed to get rid of any dry skin as was promised but it was an hilarious experience!
My students have told me about those fish massages! Weird stuff. Temples look as amazing as you'd expect, and the food looks scrumptious xx
ReplyDeleteMore great experiences and wonderful photos. You two sure did make the right decision to take this trip - and so much more still to come. Wish I was thirty years younger and up to doing some of it - maybe still could.
ReplyDeletePS Jon could always audition as Little Bo Peep or an extra in an Amish movie in the bonnet when he comes home!
