Hello Everyone, I'm back from the dead!! Never taking Immodium again! If I get food poisoning it was probably a bad idea to keep it in!

Had a nice day today and although we're both feeling a little fragile and weak we managed 8 hours around the Angkor Wat complex in 35 degree heat (how's the snow!?). We're gonna try and put photos on now but if you listen very carefully you can hear the hamster that powers this computer so Java might be asking too much.

Angkor Wat itself was very nice at sunrise, it's a massive place, the biggest religious building in the world. Considering the biggest thing we were building at the time was Rochester Castle it really is an amazing place. The top section was closed off for renovation which was a little disappointing but we still managed to fill near on 3 hours and the other two temples we saw were 100% open. Oh, there was also a monkey raiding the bins who was very funny. He'd knock one bin over to eat the contents and let anyone wanting a photo get close enough but when the cleaners came over he'd knew them and scarpered round the corner to the next bin!

Angkor Thom, Bayon was smaller but no less impressive. There also was no tourist trail around it to you could wander at leisure, we sat down in quite a few places to read what the guide book had to say and have a drink, I've certainly never had a quick sit down in such impressive surroundings. Within Angkor Thom was my personal favourite temple but only for slightly comic reasons. For 60 years French archeologists took Baphuon apart, stone by stone for renovation and coded each piece with complex plans. Unfortunately the plans were distroyed in the civil war and now they're trying to put back together the worlds biggest jigsaw puzzle! There are piles and piles of numbered stones and no one's got a clue where they go! I pointed out to Steph that they probably should have just renovated a section at a time but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

The last temple Ta Prohm was interesting in a completely different way, whereas the other temples have undergone around 100 years of renovation work (Minus the civil war and Khmer Rouge years) Ta Prohm jas just been left. Trees growing out of the tops of massive religious buildings and roots pushing walls over give it a completely different feel to the others (It was so authentic it's where they filmed Tomb Raider).

Love to everyone, just thought we'd let everyone know we're better!

Greg and Steph
