After a busy three days at the temples, we had a lie-in this morning before making it down to breakfast just before it ended! As planned, we spent most of the day relaxing by the pool, including lunch poolside at the hotel restaurant., In the evening, we headed back towards Pub Street and found a recommended Italian restaurant in The Alley, just off the main street. We enjoyed a delicious meal of pesto pasta for Laura and a calzone for me before heading to a nea...

The plan for today, our last day at the temples, was to start at 2pm and end up at Pre Rup temple for sunset. So we had a lie-in and went down for breakfast just before 10am.

Today was our first day visiting the temples of Angkor and we'd arranged for one of the tuk-tuk drivers to pick us up at 8am.

After our free breakfast, we met our driver and told him where we wanted to go today. We'd decided to start with the Roluos Group of temples, which are the oldest, but first we had to g...

Another long bus journey ahead for us today...we left our hotel early and walked the short distance to the bus station near the night market for our bus to Siem Reap. It may have only been a short distance but we were still sweating after carting our rucksacks there in the early morningheat...maybe we should pay the dollar for the tuk-tuk next time! We were on the bus for about 6 hours in total, and for once there were no random occurences! We were met at the ot...
