Angkor Wat

Today, once again, we rented bicycles. This time we went to see Angkor Wat. But before we went to see the temple I did finally go for a haircut! On the way back home yesterday we did pass a hair salon. But when I checked whether they would be able to cut my hair they told me they would only do it during day time... So went back there this morning and had the Beatles style completely shaved off. Now have about 1 cm of hair left, really refreshing in this hot weather!

So afterwards went on towards the temple. The whole temple complex of Angkor Wat is huge. And really amazing to be walking around in it. Unfortunately the main section of the temple is closed off for repair work? That was quite a disappointment! Seems they will only reopen it again when they have made the stairs more safe for the general public. (must agree in many temples so far you really have to pay attention to every step you make on the stairs, very steep and very small and often quite damaged as well).

Althou I think this temple was really amazing still think another temple we visited the day before (Banteay Srey) was even more impressive. That one really has a lot of detailed stone carvings all over the place.

Tomorrow we will be waking up very early if everything goes according to plan as we intend to go see the sunrise at Sram Srei. So goodnight for now ;).
