We had to pay a visit to Ankor Wat, it's a MUST for coming to Siem reap, we arrived by 10 hour bus journey, which wasn't too back compared to others, we found a room and organised a driver for the day.We decided to take a day relaxing as we were psyching ourselves up for a long day - sunrise to sunset, us being Minge bags and trying to do what normally takes 3 days and squeezing it into just one! Yeah but we saved 40$ that's what you call thrifty, thrifty but very tired.Getting up and making our way to Ankor Wat (the biggest religious site in the world) in the dark was great, lots of people had got up to see the sunrise so it was like a big family!Our driver was there waiting for us at 5am (Gunnan) and for $15 would stay with us all day tending to our every demand, not that we made any! which makes a change seeing as I am traveling around the world with biggest diva ever (yourself?). We took some what was that you mean I took some really good pictures in the morning and squeezed a few of the major tourist temples our favourite being the 'tomb raider' where the movie was filmed but more so where trees had grown right the way through the temple in the meantime ripping it apart and more or less slowly demolishing it!It was quite surreal seeing the trees, they so huge as you can see in the pictures.So annoying with the Japs there climbing all over them, no respect for anything them people!Aaron was quite quickly turning into David Bailey (wonder where he gets this from eh Carol!) wish I had a camera to snap all the wonderful positions he got himself into trying to take THE picture! Its what you call commiting to the moment as us artists would say. check out who the diva is now.After a whooping 8 hours of looking around temples we stopped for lunch and decided with our driver that we would see one more temple and make our way down to the floating islands, this wasn't on the cards for that day but he was more than happy to take us back to town and go about 15 miles in the opposite direction as long as we paid for 2 litres of gas! You would never get this in Liverpool!So that's what we did, some more pictures for Dave to take then we made our way to the boat. It was a really good day but the village was full of really poor Vietnamese begging, which was ok cause Jacs made of stone but I went the shop and got a load of sweets to give some kids to make me feel better. This later caused me to get on my soap box a little after a few beers that evening.The villagers all have boats of their own and we even saw one family moving house (tugging their floating house across the river, how simple is this eh!)We stopped for a drink and saw the crocks and Aaron had loads of fun feeding the fish with prawns making them go mad in their makeshift cage! It was so hard to sit while children as young as 3 are pulling at your sleeve begging you to buy bananas from them, there was about 20 kids in all around us, begging and crying most of them naked! There was a little girl of about 7 with a snake wrapped around her neck; I had a hold of course to keep the kids at home happy after my hug off the elephant! Aaron at the point of seeing the snake ran for the hills(or should I say swam!). At one point an American girl was surrounded by kids begging her to buy room them (when I say begging I mean full on sobbing in your face) so she rooted in her bag a pulled out pens and pencils and you should have seen them scatter, only 2 kids had the bottle to take one from her, they'd never seen a pen before and were scared at what she was giving them. Some of the things these kids must have been though in such a short lifetime must be unreal! It was so upsetting and Aaron say I have a heart of stone but if you let them get to you and crack, you'd be depressed for life!Its crap that we could hop on our boat and sail away from this but its something these kids and people do everyday to make a living. When we got back to the port 2 young kids were there tugging at my empty water bottles, they were so happy when I gave them one each! Aaron was on his soapbox a bit last night about it all, I pointed out that when he saw a snake he ran and that's natural to them but when they saw a pen it was the most strangest thing to them and they scattered! Makes you open your eyes a bit and was the best yet hardest thing I've done so far!
