• The Temples of Angkor

    25. november 2024, Cambodja ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Today we woke up not really knowing what to expect. We got Marshmello, our new Cambodian Tuk Tuk. It's a boy tuk tuk this time! I prefer the original Tiki because she was a bit more comfy.
    Our first stop was to get our 7 day pass for the Temples. Only mum, dad and I needed to pay- Fern was free. $72 usd each.
    The first Temple was Banteay Srey which is located 37km from Siem Reap. It is a small temple made of red sandstone. It is known for its beautiful carvings in the walls. I thought it was awesome. The door frames were so small Fern even hit her head going through. The next temple was called Kbal Spean. A bit further away from Siem Reap. We had to do a 2km uphill hike through the jungle and another 2km down. It was nothing compared to Mt Kinabalu but a lot more humid. But it was worth it when we got to the riverbed and saw amazing carvings in the flowing river. They were mind blowing. And just remember both of these Temples are ever 1000 years old and hand carved.
    The road was very very bumpy.
    After a long day exploring we had a curry (our favourite) and finished the day with a foot massage.
    Today was big.
