We booked the tuc tuc for a sunrise start but this was quickly changed when it thunder stormed all night. However the weather improved throughout the day. We followed the one day tour from the lonely planet, which is apparently sacrilege due to the vast number of temples, only seeing four.
Ankgor Wat is the grandess temple with impressive carvings along the walls and high towers, however the number of tourists kind of spoilled the effect.
Ta Phrom was the best being in a state of disrepair. The massive wall were supporting, or being supported by huge trees. It was the setting for tomb raider and has a very Indiana Jones feel about it.
Phreah Khan was pretty much a ruin.
Inside Ankgor Thom, the largest complex of temples, was the Bayon. This was amazing with faces on every tower.
All Ankgored out we didn't wait for sunset and ware in the bar by 4 30pm.
