Day 7: Siem Reap (Angkor Wat II)

All templed out, as Jem’s dad put it, temple-itis. we visited about 15 temples all up, four of which we covered today. The first 3 looked exactly the friggen same, literally! We saved the best till last though, Angkor Wat was AWESOME – definately in my top 3! It is no wonder this place is [...]
