Day 3. Siem Reap

It's been a day of temples: Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat. Such amazing carvings and buildings. They were built in the 12th century, lost to the jungle then rediscovered and uncovered in the early 1900's. Our guide Sitar kept us well informed with the history. We even saw the tree Lara raced around in Tomb Raiders.
"It was hot, we're all stuffed, it was amazing today and we did good" is the quote from all. We walked, climbed up and over rocks and steps, had lots of rests on the shade. And drank litres of water to keep us going. Lunch was at a nearby restaurant with plenty of food.
There are so many tourists here that the currency of choice is the American dollar, with the local riel only given occasionally in change. Many of the ladies bought silk scarves today - $2 each or 3 for $5 (started off $10 each). Water is 2 for $1, flutes $1, bamboo hats $1, such fun and easy to bargain.
