23rd August, Angkor Wat, Siam Reap

Today I took a tuk-tuk to a Wat - what?

Hahahaha, hmm. The Temples of Angkor Wat and its surroundings are quite amazing, we organised a tuk-tuk to take us around which was a far better idea than cycling... people were suffering in the heat and humidity.

Saw the area where they filmed Tomb-Raider (one of my favourites) and a couple of other films, it's very Indiana Jones feeling. It's as you can imagine... old, stunning, big. Would love to be the french explorer that re-discovered it in the 19th? Century.

In the evening we showered and went out looking for a good place to eat. Walking down some random Cambodian street and I hear "Andrew, Andrew"... Tim and Meredith had spotted us!

We ate with them and afterwards had a few 60c beers in a bar with a crocodile. Tim was keen as mustard to pick it up for a photo but we were told that it was a bit bitey and quite quick. They were going to Angkor the next day so we organised to meet up the next night.
