Templed Out!

Set off at 8am this morning and off to the temples, went with two other volunteers. started of at angkor wat which took 2hours to get round and could probably have spent more time there. got to go up the top but the steps coming back down were horendous, pretty scary as very narrow and steep. good fun though and lovely lovely place. went from there to bayon, which is probably my favourite, temple with the faces. then went on to angkor thom and had a look around quite a few temples there including the elephant terrace and the 1 that is in tomb raider where all the tree roots are up through the temple, amazing really to see. went to a couple of smaller ones and then headed home. far too hot and after climbing lots and lots of steps and over rocks was very tired. spent the day at temples with LOTS of kids after our money again and trying to sell me more bracelets yet again. did buy some of their postcards though and a book about the temples as the history is a lot to take in and incredible. had a wee snooze in afternoon when i got back and then in evening went to a restraunt just round corner from guesthouse. had my 1st bad meal since ive been here, not bad really considering nearly been here a month and eaten out like every night. had sweet and sour chicken but the chicken was very hard so that put me off. came back to guesthouse and went upstairs with a few others and had couple of drinks and a chat. going to bed soon as back to work tomorrow. planning getting up in morning and going to red cross office, whether it happens or not is another story.
