Groan! I know....but couldn't resist.
We spent 6 nights in Angkor wat/Siem Reap (one extra sick day 😞). 3 days spent at the temples. They are quite incredible. What they were able to construct in the 8th-maybe 11th century is amazing. The sheer scale of it all and the fact that it is all still here (mostly). Although it should be noted that in the mid-early 1900s there was a huge restoration project let by the French to put many of the temples back together. Some, such as Ta Phrom, were left almost as they were found - with the jungle taking over! Ta Phrom is also the temple from Tomb Raider and Temple of doom.

Hey guys...great to hear from you! Sorry but did not get what the groan was for. Is that Sarah's groan? Andrew, you are looking rather clean shaven - what possessed you? Got a bit of flack, did you? And Sarah, love those sandals!! XXXOOOO
