Day 13 - Siem Reap and the temples "You mean you've lost your glasses again???!!!"


We spent the whole day exploring temples .... started at Angkor Thom and Bayon (the temple with the large faces), and from there explored a number of other temples, on what is known as the "small circuit" (17km). Each temple comes with its own set of locals trying to sell cold drinks, books, and souvenirs, which did get a little tiring after a while, though Kathryn managed to give out a number of her "care packages". plus 5 pens, and about 457,000 hair ties. The day was quite sunny and warm, so we both were quite hot and tired by the time we got back to town around 5pm. A bit of shopping at the night market, an attempt to replace Kathryn's lost reading glasses (yes, that's two pairs she's lost now), Thai food for dinner.
