of history and mythology

Back from Siem Reap Cambodia, and these are my thoughts...

Good:
Rich in history
Learnt so much about Buddhism and Hinduism Gods and mythology
Nice, friendly people
Amazing chic architecture in Hotel de la paix (and the beautiful Indochine spa!)
Fabulous eateries discovered in Blue Pumpkin, Red Piano etc.

Not so good:
Rainy gloomy weather and muddy roads
Really small city area
Zero taxis, only tuktuks
Touting and overpriced drinks/food in tourist areas

Nevertheless, these are my fav shots from our lot!

One remaining tower from a Hindu temple...



Entrance to Angkor Wat



The Tree in the courtyard of Hotel de la paix



Doorway in Bayon Temple



Backs facing Angkor Wat



Inside Angkor Wat



And the best to end it all on a reflective note... a little boy slumped against one of the beams in Angkor Wat



Bliss at the poolside of Hotel de la paix



It was a good break with Durrow gal, and it's back to work tomorrow!

So last but not least, the lovely premises of Hotel de la paix...
