We've been in Siem Reap for the last four days, mostly spent visiting the various temples in the area. Ankhor Watt is the most well known and is duely impressive, but I think our favorites were Bang Malea and Da Prohm, which are very atmospheric as the amount of restoration has been minimal so they still have a very Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones feel to them. See photo to get an idea. This places really lives up to the hype - its been the highlight of the trip so far. Our guide, Mr Da, has been really wonderful in helping us to appreciate the various sites in historical context. Tomorrow we're leaving Cambodia and flying to Hanoi
