Cambodia- Beyond Siem Reap

On our third day after ditching our guide we hired a driver for the day and went to

Preah Kahn

Beng Mealea

Koh Ker

I would definitely recommend anyone going to

Siem Reap to take the time to

get out of the Angkor Wat complex and see some of the temples

further away

(it was about a 3 hour drive to koh ker, and 2 hours between each destination)

We loved the fact that here we had the temples

all to ourselves.

The atmosphere was completely different,

i felt more connected with the temples and nature

and it felt more historic and not like

tourist-mania.

Beng Mealea was by far Tim's favourite

the guides show where you can climb all over the ruins,

he felt just like Indiana Jones. 

(my pictures werent actually fuzzy,

i think my crappy internet connection has just 

uploaded them that way...

boo!)
