On Monday we made the border crossing from Thailand into Cambodia and took a taxi for 2 and a half hours to Siem Reap. I wasn't looking forward to the drive because I had been told that it was quite a rough ride and can take as long as 7 hours but luckily there was a new road built just two years ago :)
Today we explored a few of the many amazing temples located just outside of the city. We left at about 5:30 this morning to catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat but unfortuantely it was a little cloudy but the light was still really nice and it didn't start getting too hot until about 8:30.
After lunch at a street restaurant next to some volleyball courts we explored Ta Prohm and then came back to the hotel and took a nap.
We had some pizza for dinner and then went to The Bayon for sunset.
There are so many temples here and they are all much bigger than I had imagined and are absolutely breathtaking.
I'm working on uploading pictures to my website right now...hopefully i'll get some more up today or tomorrow....
