Day 3 in Siam Reap
After rushing down from The River of a Thousand Lingas, we reached Angkor Wat just on time for sunset. Tour guide knew that it would be jammed at the main entrance and hence he brought us to the other entrance, which is located at the back of Angkor Wat. Surprisingly, the view here is as nice as main entrance. There's a lake right before the entrance and there are some buildings at the back too.
With the building at the back of Angkor Wat. I guessed it is some sort of temple, too?
Angkor Wat with the Sunset
Me with the sunset. ^_^
About 10 minutes walk, we reached the walkway that we walked on the first day.
There are really a lot of people waiting for sunset view.
One of my favourite photos at Angkor Wat.
Ignore my sweaty look. Love the reflection of Angkor Wat.
The Reflection
"Who.... is that girl I see....." Time for a song.. XD
Another photo before leaving Angkor Wat.
They close at 6pm and we were chased out. XD
Look at my cute photoboom! =D
Oh! Not to forget, there will be a lot of children trying to sell souvenirs to you.
It is a bit hard to reject kids and the price that they offered are quite reasonable. So, this is me busy buying souvenir from the cute kid.
To me, sunset at Angkor Wat is something not to be missed if you happened to visit Siam Reap, Cambodia. It is much nicer than sunrise because you can see the reflection of Angkor Wat clearly. I enjoyed my visit here. =D
And hence this ends our temple tour. Before getting back to our villa, we requested the tour guide to bring us to the local night market -- Road 60, trying our luck to find some nice local food and tarantula. We got some barbeque chicken and fish as dinner at the market. The night market is huge but dark. Here, you can see how Cambodian people hang out. They have a really simple life. Sitting by the roadside and enjoy their dinner could be their night out. Not like us, cafe hopping, nice restaurant, etc..... Something to reflect on.
Very dark isn't it. But it has a lot of things to see.
The barbeque stall.
After that, we were being sent back to our villa to rest. There will be Mekong River Tour the next day with the same tour guide. ^_^ We settled our dinner and a few of us went out for extra food and foot massage. Such a great therapy for my foot after a day of walking and hiking. Life is so good when I'm on vacation. =D
Stay tuned for Mekong River tour.. Coming up next ^_^
