Cambodia - Siem Reap

---

I flew from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap on a twin-propellered plane. It was a turblulent flight.

I'd been really looking forward to this part of the trip, as I'd so many pictures of Angkor Wat and loved the Khmer architecture. I wasn't disappointed. I watched the sun rise over the huge temple and strolled around the complex. The next day I visited a lot more temples in the area, including the one used in 'Tomb Raider', with tree-roots intermingling with carved brickwork - the place had a real ethereal quality to it!

I headed back to Thailand and Bangkok, on a terrible road in appalling weather - well it was the rainy season. From there I fly to Kuala Lumpur.
