<\/p>\nWe get up early early to take the tuk tuk to Angkor Wat for sunrise.\u00c2\u00a0 Julien and Sharon show up a few minutes later, and then I run into Louisa and Beth again.\u00c2\u00a0 One of the guys from the Plain of Jars tour is also in attendance.\u00c2\u00a0 Small world, this Southeast Asia.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s too cloudy for a spectacular sunrise, so we get some breakfast before Jess and I check out Angkor Wat.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s huge and amazing, and thankfully not too crowded.\u00c2\u00a0 We wander around for a while there, then get in the tuk tuk to Angkor Thom.\u00c2\u00a0 Angkor Thom has a bunch of smaller temples, and we check out Bayon first, which is probably my favourite.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of towers, with heads atop them.\u00c2\u00a0 Next we investigate the Elephant terraces.\u00c2\u00a0 A young kid leads us to a temple, and Jess is certain we’re going to be killed, but instead he wants some money for taking us the long way\u00c2\u00a0to the temple.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0When we ignore his request, he doesn’t seem too surprised.\u00c2\u00a0 Last up is \u00c2\u00a0 Ta Prohm, where they filmed one of the Tomb Raider movies.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, Sarat, the owner of the guesthouse, takes me to book a flight to Hanoi for the next day.\u00c2\u00a0 My initial plan was to start in the south and head north, but plans were meant to be changed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catherine, Jess, and I meet Pen and Wiki for dinner and some drinks.\u00c2\u00a0 We say goodbye to Pennie and Wiki for the forseeable future, and check out the Beatocello film near the children’s hospital.\u00c2\u00a0 It focuses on Dr. Beat, a Swiss doctor, who pushes for better aid for the children of Cambodia.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next we head to the night market so Catherine and Jess, who both go home tomorrow, can get some souvenirs.\u00c2\u00a0 After that, it’s my last sleep in Cambodia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
