Over the past two days, Will, Sarah and I have developed a severe case of temple-itis. Since watching the sun rise behind Angkor Wat at 5.30 yesterday morning, we've looked at something around 15 temples in the surrounding area. Suffice to say, we're quite over it now!
However, I do have to say that Angkor Wat and the other temples are simply amazing. From the majesty of Angkor Wat, to the jungle-infested walls of Ta Prohm, and the sweeping views from the top of Phnom Bakheng, I am in awe of the sheer size, number and complexity of the architecture.
Angkor Wat was magical at sunrise. Very beautiful and serene. The only dampener was the hordes of tourists shouting and clambering to get photos, when all we wanted to do was sit and take in the sunrise. In fact, that's been my only major gripe with the whole Angkor Wat experience – busloads of tourists that are inconsiderate, loud and most of all, step in front of us when taking photos!
Tomorrow, Will and I are heading back to Phnom Penh, and then onto Bangkok early Tuesday morning. I'll be sad to leave Cambodia, but I'll definitely coming back!
