Angkor, What?!

Wat a week! We did the ultimate temple tour yesterday on rickety third world bicycles. My bike had a bell, which I used liberally. We went to watch the sunset at Ankor Wat, then saw the Bayon, Ankor Thom, and a bunch of other wats the next day. Each temple had its own charm. Ankor Wat is the largest temple and is the furthest along in the restoration process. But one of our favorites was Ta Phrom, which is still surrounded by huge piles of rubble that have yet to be pieced together. Parts of Ta Phrom were intertwined with the roots of giant, beautiful trees (we took about 300 pictures and put the best in the slideshow). Very impressive!

Biking in Cambodia is surprisingly easy despite the lack of traffic lights, laws, etc. Cambodians have no problem sharing the road, which is great because I like to drift and take up the entire lane. It's been raining like crazy for the past few nights and we got stuck in a storm on our ride back from the temples, which made for an even more eventful day.

We tried to watch the eclipse this morning but Cambodia wasn't prime viewing location. The morning was overcast so we missed most of it!

We're back to Bangkok tomorrow then continuing on to Northern Thailand. Cambodia was well worth the trip. Will post again from Chang Mai!
