Day 189 (Fri 12 Jan) - Siem Reap

Up at 9am to meet Majid.

Today we went to the temples located in the North West of Angkor. Neak Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon and Preah Khan.

All very impressive although the temple that should have been surrounded by four tanks of water was a trifle disappointing as the tanks were dry. ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] )

At about 2ish we stopped for lunch and as Sarb was feeling a little under the very hot weather we repaired back to the hotel.

Done some blogging and rested.

At about 3 ish we wandered off to the Butterfly garden restaurant. Cool place! Basically a garden, complete with gurgling water features, that was surrounded by fine netting. As we sat and had a soft drink it was great to watch the many butterflies flitting about.

Back to the room for a lie down where we watched a happy crappy film called Happy Gilmore.

Went to Ecstatic for dinner and Jo stopped off at the market on the way back.
