Day 3

Today was a late start and we headed of to sight see some of the amazing temples in Cambodia joined by our tour guide Mr Son.

On the bus ride we viewed an amazing man made moat and a group of hungry monkeys.

First stop was Angkor Wat temple, which is on the Cambodia flag. It was incredible,and for many it was the first of the "7 wonders of the world" they had visited. The carvings were beautiful and we all learned a lot about the temples history.

Then we went to Ta Prohm temple were Tomb Raider was filmed unfortunately Angelina Jolie was not there :( But the viewing was fantastic and the trees with their overwhelming roots were ultimately protecting the structure of the temple.

The last temple was the Bayon temple which included the 54 towers which represent the 54 provenances of Cambodia. We were able to observe many stone carvings which showed the history of the 11th century.
Throughout the temple viewing various members of the group decided to "plank" on different parts of the temple. In the end Mr T "owned" Brandon, almost breaking a temple pillar in the process.

For dinner we got Tuk Tuk's (which are four seated carriages pulled by motor-bikes) to the Banana Leaf restaurant where we watched the tennis match of Nadal vs Federer until Nadal won the first set. Afterwards we went to a night market where we ate crickets and received a fish spa treatment which ticklish and relaxing (Y) (Y) then got Tuk Tuk's back to the hotel.
