First of all we moved hotels. Our room was ok, but for the same price we decided we could find one without the musty smell! And, we did, just down the road!
We looked around Siem Reap, checked-in online for our looming flight to Thailand and enjoyed some mighty fine cakes from the bakery!
In the afternoon we headed off to buy our tickets for Angkor Wat, the largest temple complex in the world, and to watch the sunset at the temple. There are so many temples in the area dating back to the 9th century. Initially Hindu but many are now Buddhist. It was too cloudy to see the sunset, so we spent the last light of the day visiting the individual temple named Angkor Wat. It is very impressive, surrounded by jungle and really huge, with many towers and beautiful Hindu carvings telling stories from the past. Today we just had time to see a tiny part before it got dark. Our ticket is valid tomorrow from .... dusk 'til dawn ... and we hope to have the sun with us all day from sunrise to sunset!
