Cambodia

Cambodia What is there to say.... hmmmmm......
well if you want a brief discription, a temple is now a temple I dont think I will beable to look at another one for a year.
We got to cambodia on the 20th march (I know im late) at 9 oclock, we left Ho Chi Min at 7 that morning, we reached the border at midday, the easiest border we have ever crossed the travel man did it all for us, marvellous!!. Seam Reap is our destination.
Seam Reap as most of you will know is well known for the temples, (there are so many) Angkor wat is the main attraction and rightly so. Getting to the temples is easy enough just call a tuk tuk that is unless they dont call you first and follow you for a mile trying to get you in his "tuk", after spendig our time bargining a price with the driver, we were on our way. Me and Char are the most experience barginers travelling (dont mess). Arriving at Angkor Wat was amazing there is a moet that goes all the way around the wall of angkor, with a huge stone bridge taking you in to the first part or the temple. As we went in the the first part we were given a burning scent stick and had to hold it between our hand and bow three time to the budder and then rub his knee and foot, its meant to show respect and give you good luck. Leaving the first part of the temple we walked along a long stoney dusty walk way to the main part of Angkor Wat, it really is stunning to look at, breath taking as far as architect can take you. Angkor was huge, the layout was like squares that fit in squares with steps on each side of the square, that is as good as I can explain it with out a picture. The walls were covered with intrecate carvings, images of heaven or good on the top of the wall and unglyness and evilness on the bottom. For some bazzare reason all the buddas were beheaded i never found out why. Whilst walking through the middle of the temple there was a man sitting on a rug with a donations box, if you give a donation they told you your "future", mine was very good he said you shall succeed in what ever you choose. That was enough temple for one day. Day two we headed to Angkor Phom, this is a older temple than Angkor Wat, all of the stone was breaking or had already fallen, we walking around another two temples that were group in one place, that was it I have to go, in the heat it was tourtcher.
There were a few markets to go to on the night and asuasual there were many things we wnted to buy, but an ice-cream was enough for us. On the last day we decided to relax, and I was feeling very ill!!! I just lay like a vegatable on my bed for the day watching some weird programmes, including a killung tree if you must know, What????? really??????
We had a very quick trip through Ccambodia as we were in a rush to get to South Thailand for the full moon party, We have fiends there now who are loving it, so I think we needed to more time to get the full enjoyment, but I dont think I shall be going back there.
