Wow, what a day. We spent the day touring Angkor by bicycle, visiting many of the old and ruinous temples. It was beautiful, surreal and seemingly shrouded in mystery. I;m sure we could have dispelled some of the mystery if we had hired a guide and tuk-tuk... but really, where is the fun in that? We met up with our new friends from Canada at 5:45am, and took the grand tour (roughly 26km, not including the 12 km roundtrip to Siem Reap). One of the bikes broke down about half way, so we walked through much of the heat of the day. At the Me bon temple, Kelly and I got stuck in a torrential downpour... when things let up a little, we rushed for our bicycles and rode on with our umbrellas covering our heads. The locals thought it was quite a funny sight.
In all, it was a fabulous day! Angkor is a definite must see in one's life time... but take our advice, avoid the tour bus, and earn the experience on bicycle!
