New Year in Siem Reap, Ankor Temples

We spent new year at a street party in Siem Reap. The Japanese, Australians, Irish, Scots, English, Germans, Scandanavians, Indians and Cambodians all got into the party spirit and danced in the streets. Fireworks went off overhead as street children jigged on the shoulders of drunken revellers! Crazy!!!

Nursing a hangover we visited the amazing temple of Angor Wat. It is the largest religious building in the world and i got stuck at the top of it. Fortunately i found a another route down and managed to overcome my fear of heights...

THe Bayon is the centre pice of the nearby ancient city of Angor Tom. It is a temple that contains many towers with faces pinting in four directions. This results in fantastic building that watches your every step!

Over the next two days we explored many temples and buildings, too many to describe. Some had amazing trees growing over the top of rocks, some were just ruins. A fantastic magical place that will remain in my memory forever!
