Siem Reap

After barging again we took the room for $15. The same drivers that we catch and the airport picked us up and drove us to see the sunset at one of the ruins of Ankor, Phnom Bakheng). After that we had dinner on a tipical buffe but with a show of local dances, very nice.

The next day the same drivers picked us early in the morning (around 5am) and took us to the main temple of Ankor, Ankor Wat where we wait for the sunrise. Then we went through the temple untill the main tower. Quite different architecture than the ruins in Mexico.

Then we moved to the ruins of Ankor Thom were all the towers have faces sculpted on the 4 sides of the tower. The temple has 5 entrances, one for each cardinal point and the last one for the victory. Each entrance is protected for 25 demons (right side) and 25 angels (guess which side). The main temple inside is call Bayon and is surrounded by big terraces with elephants (simbol of good luck and protection).

We jumped again to the motorcycles and head to the next temple, Ta Prohm. Remember Tomb Rider? well this reins haven't been reconstructed at all. So you can easily see how the jungle grew inside of the temple. The roots of the huge trees are everywere, really nice, really.

After a long day walking we head to the Blue Pumking (www.tbpumking.com) to relax till the sunset.

We head back to the main tower; Ankor Wat to look at the sunset. This was supposed to be the best spot but I think the view was better the day before. Same crouded but different landscape.

To finish a hard working day we had a Khmer massage... simply 2 hrs of continuos pain, to the point that the lady asked me if I was in pain because of the faces that I was doing!!!
