Day 8 - 29 October



















I guess today was our one big 'touristy' day. We spent the day at the famous Angkor Wat site. Some people spend a week visiting each of the sites and wandering around the many different ruins. We had about 5 hours so it was a bit of a rush.

The pictures show some of the really steep staircases. Rachael got as far as poking her head over the edge of the balcony, but she didn't quite make it to the top.

The interesting part of Ta Prohm was the tree growing through the temple ruins which was shown in the Tomb Raider movie. It was a long walk to find it but worth the view when we found it.

Our evening consisted of a lovely restaurant meal followed by a concert of Apsara Dancers performing traditional Cambodian dances. The costumes were quite beautiful.
