Ankor Wat and Siem Reap

Today we started our organized tour through Cambodia. On the program for daSiem Reap11y one are the many temples in Siem Reap. Our guide picked us up just after breakfast and we went to the temple of Bayon and Ankor Thom first.    These amazing  buildings are built between the 10th to 15th century. After lunch we went to see the famous Ankor Wat, a big beautiful temple built as a tomb for the king.

Every time we go back to our car all the local people come running trying to sell handmade crafts, books, postcards and more.

Most of them small children not older than 5 or 6.  It is a bit hard to Siem Reap04see all the poverty and how some of the people live here in Cambodia. 

In the evening we had a walk through the market and got some christmas presents and Tiril got a dress. At the restaurant Lars didn`t behave so I had to take him back to the hotel…..no dinner for Larsy!!!!

    Haha, kan tenke meg det. Det er en flott minnebok dere lager. Veldig kjekt å følge med.. og drømme, selv om jeg nok ville foretrukket et annet transportmiddel. Trøsten må jo være at dere ikke kommer til å slite med jetlag, dere beveger dere sakte men sikkert mot vår tidssone..
