After sunrise and a pancake (the two are apparently synonymous, we took a tuk tuk tour around the outer temples of Angkor. The temples were very beautiful. They were covered in ancient intricate engraving, some of them had trees growing out of their roofs/walls.
We had a great time topping up on some culture. After lunch we drove out to a floating village. This was also really cool, it looked like any other street in Cambodia, except the fact it was on a river! This 8 year old lad came strolling out of his house stark naked, saw the tourist boat right by his door and dropped to the deck covering up. Once he had got over the shock I clearly thought better of his shyness, stood up boldly, and leaped into the water.
We then popped back to the temple complex for sunset before heading out for dinner.
The next day I went back to the temple complex with the girls from my dorm, Laura, Laura and sylvie. We went to the bigger temples today, which were breathtaking before gathering up 16 people from the hostel to go out for dinner and drinks.
This morning I reluctantly crawled out of my Pitt at 6:30am to get back to the temples and complete the Angkor half marathon circuit. The humidity nearly killed me, I just couldn't breath!
