Temples galore!.....Cambodia - Siam Reap

I warmed to Siam Reap straight away. There is a lot more English spoken here than I anticipated and the people are friendly and polite, although we were warned not to flash our dollars as the average monthly wage is just $70 (50 GDP). Only had 2 days here so first day was 'Temple day' as they have dozens here. A couple of shots attached here as taster and link below to the other pics. They are spectacular and although a challenge to do in a 35 degree heat (I was in a sauna on my own creation all day), well worth it. Travelled by tuk tuk everywhere, which are huge fun, yet another vehicle that 'Elf and Safety' would tut tut at. Angkor Wat is the most famous but the temple featured in the first Tomb Raider movie is also here. A further bonus was cocktails over dinner at $1.50 a pop!
