So we are a little behind on updates. We've been traveling around Nepal for 3 weeks, where even in the biggest city, they rarely have electricity let alone internet during the day (mostly only a few hours at night)!
Angkor Wat.....
We had just arrived into Siem Reap that afternoon, checked into the hotel and read if you bought tickets the night before to the historical complex, you could enter the park for free for 2 hours. So we hopped in our tuk tuk (with our driver Mr. Kun) and headed to Angkor. We're driving along a long straight away, weather was a little cloudy and misty, when we see it for the first time....Angkor Wat! Kyle and I both were speechless. We sat in the tuk tuk in front of a temple that is almost 1000 years old...if that's not enough to make you speechless, the size of the complex alone would be...
Anyone who's read this blog is familiar with the questionable and crazy food we've been eating. Our first bout with food poisoning came from.....
A DANISH!!!!!!!!!!! Yep you read that right...The first night in Siem Reap I had my battle with the Danish inflicted food poisoning...and I lost....Badly! However we did not let this get the best of us...I was out for only 1 day and so Kyle visited a jungle temple on his own.
We spent the next 2 days exploring the temples around Siem Reap. All of the temples were amazing but Angkor Wat took our breath away. Ta Prohm was our favorite with giant jungle trees and roots taking over the ruins.
We took hundreds of pics so it was hard to choose which were blog worthy. If interested we'll post the kodak gallery link later with all our pics.
Another great moment in Cambodia was our last day in Siem Reap. We spent the day at COSO orphanage volunteering some time with the kids. The kids were amazing and we spent the day playing some soccer, learning some new dance moves, playing some cambodian games, and I got my hair done! It's tough to find genuine non profits in the region as many are corrupted and the money goes into the wrong people's pockets. COSO was wonderful and we wish we could have spent more time here. It was pretty difficult to leave at the end of the day.
Next post will be soon....NEPAL!
