Yesterday we got up at 5.30am to meet the Tuk-Tuk driver at 6am, just missing sunrise..
After a brief stop at the market to see if stalls were open already for snacks to bring we drove to Beng Mealea, a beautiful ruin of a temple 2 hours drive from Siem Reap. We were looking forward to going very much but on the day got temple fatigue and just weren't quite feeling it. What a decadent lazy attitude! But we did enjoy walking around the grounds, climbing over the wooden walkways constructed to make the ruined temple accessible for view. (Actually the walkway is left-over from a film set of Two Brothers, from 2004.
Without this it would be near impossible to navigate around the site. Thank you Jean-Jacques Annaud.... More information about the site: HERE)
and last but not least back in Siem Reap the next day as Birgit uploads the photos to Jason's blog: a perfect espresso at La Boulangerie Cafe. Happiness in a cup.
Interesting!! Thanks for keeping us posted on your trip.
