First day in Cambodia, visited Angkor Watt and enjoyed the cambodian Temple Suite

After our 23 hours trip from Chumphon to Bangkok and from Bangkok to Siem Reap, we arrived in our new hotel.

It was a really nice Temple Suite & Spa which I found on booking.com. I thought it would be perfect to spend my 23. th birthday there.

After we checked-in we booked a trip to Angkor Watt and to some other temples. We got a really nice driver for the whole day who drove us around all the temples the whole day. The first stop was Angkor Watt, before entering the temple we enjoyed lunch in the restaurant next to it and drank the real Angkor beer.

It was really delicious my stir fried chicken sweet and sour. When we were full we started our trip to Angkor Watt, the temperature was extremely hot, almost 41°C and the air was 0% moisturized.

When we entered the gate of the Angkor-Watt area the first thing I had to do, was to take a picture of my one-handstand for my memory.

Walking around in the ancient old temple made me tired and thirsty, so we decided to buy some water on a market nearby.

It was horrible, everybody tried to sell  something something to us and if you accidentally touched a souvenir they almost wanted us to pay them directly. After we sunburned a lot we decided to search our driver who wanted to wait outside of the temple.

It wasn’t as easy as it sounds. There were everywhere taxidrivers waiting for customers and our driver wasn’t there. So we asked other drivers where our driver was. We found him after 10 minutes searching with the help of a description.

The next stop was Bayun which is another temple located quite close to Angkor Watt in the middle of a big roundabout. I was too sunburned to explore the temple, so Leo did it on his own.

In this time I talked to our driver about the lifestyle in Cambodia, about his family and about him. I also talked with him about my girlfriend and about how good it is to have a family. After 45 minutes Leo returned and we continued our trip to the temple where Tomb Raider was filmed.

It was called Ta Prohm Temple. It was fascinating to see the settings out of the film in reality with our own view. We really enjoyed the whole day and when we got back to our hotel, we decided to take an oil massage. It took one hour, after that I needed some time for myself and decided not to go out tonight on my birthday, because I was too exhausted from the last days. We didn’t have much sleep and I was very bitchy about everything.
