Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

I stayed in Pakse, Laos for a couple of days doing practically nothing. Just walking, stopping sometimes for drinks, and that was all.
Early in Friday morning I flew to Siem Reap to see the famous Angkor Wat temples.
I got here a very good Angkor Holiday Hotel, and spent my first day strolling around in the city. In a cozy bar I saw two very nice Aussie girls, chicks from Sydney,who I already had met on the way by Tuk Tuk to the Pakse airport, when our vehicle just run out of gasolin five meters from a gasolin station. What a convenient luck!
I joined Georgie and Alanna, both 21. Later I invited them to join me next day to Angkor Wat and other temples and palacies, having already agreed in a whole day tour with a private car. Yesterday they arrived in good time to my hotel lobby, and at exactly 10 o'clock a nice Camry picked us up. We had a marvellous but hot day.
Our first destination was Angkor Wat. Angkor means capital or holy city. This huge area is only seven kilometers from Siem Reap, and we spent there two hours walking trough and around those magnificent temples. This breathtaking massive pyramid with five lotuslike towers was constractated around mid 12th century a.d.
We then had a nice lunch in a little but good local restaurant, to where our driver brought us. After one hour we continued to Ta Prohm, where huge fig and silk-cotton trees are like massive snakes in and on and around those temples giving a misterious
jungle atmosphere. Later we passed Ta Keo and some other temples before stopping for our final destination , the last capital of Angkorian empire, the Angkor Thom.
We all, espcially me, were exhausted but happy, having had an awesome day in incredible surroundings.
In the evening I took a one-dollar-ride with a Tuk Tuk to so called Pub street, where
all the life is at the night time. There I met Laura and Graig both 23 from Birmingham, England, and had a nice chat. They were travelling for five months in Far East. I finished my evening having excellent Mediterranean snack Corsica charcuterie with some good red wine in Le Tigre de Papier, French restaurant. Before
I made a must visit to the first after war bar Angkor What?, for a couple of drinks.
