Posts From Cambodia

The first half of the day was simply the process of flying from Saigon to Siem Reap in Cambodia and required no elaboration. Siem Reap and it's surroundings on the other hand is one of the worlds major archealogical sites and will occupy all of our energies for the next few days.

We were up early in order to start our days touring at 7:00 am. This area is a major tourist destination getting somewhere between 2 and 5 million visitors per year depending on the source of that information. So the early start was to beat the crowds and heat.

Our first attraction today was a complex called Banteay Srei. It is built from hard sandstone and in our guides opinion has some of the best preserved decorative carvings of any of the ruins.
