Well, Cambodia has not disapointed so far. The people, culture, history....this place has it all. Angkor is without doubt the best ancient site in the world and I can only be thankful that we have experienced this great wonder before tourists are no longer able to access the areas that we are able to now. Tourism is really taking off here in a big way - really THE hot place to be. The five star hotels are being built at an incredible rate and it wont be long before boardwalks, ropes and guards will determine how much you can really see. I will not forget the last two days in a hurry! The jungle ravaged temples have been a highlight and also a relief from the heat (though not as hot as I expected)
Well, still figuring out the new camera but have some great shots so far. 140 in two days to be exact. Now, while some may feel this is excessive, I AM travelling with Miss "This is a great shot 2006". Natalie has so far taken around 300 photos. Apparently deleting two today in order to make more space was pretty traumatic. Totally ridiculous of course. It was with caution that I broached this subject at around 10.00am today (day TWO!) With 3 weeks left, there was space for around 16 more shots - so I was just wondering how much of her spending money she planned to spend on these giggy bite cards thingos. (Well, she offered to shout me a massage, so I needed to know!) All in good fun - we both have some fantastic stuff and will be inviting all uninterested parties to our respective slide evenings. Coffee served.
Speaking of coffee, its served here with condensed milk. Try it.
Well, tomorrow we visit one more temple - said to be made by women as a mans hands could not possibly create such fine artwork. And while we have been to Angkor three times, another wont hurt - I'm still hoping to get my ride in Cambodias very beautiful and extremely safe yellow balloon. Abit windy so far to fly - though I cant see the problem - its tied to a large rope, what could possibly go wrong for $4 US???? (Nat here - oh and I have issues with photos? Check this chick out and her obsession with a freakin balloon - even the driver thinks she may be on a little too much caffeine....)
Ok. ok. So I like heights and yellow balloons and photos. Deep, very deep.
Well, off to rest in our luxury suite with fluffy pillows and maid service. Good Night. xxxx
See you in PP!
