What Wat?

The land of a 1000 Wats where King Jayavarman VII or Jaskerlinen as we like to call him has a lot to answer for. For two days Mao, the tuk tuk driver, took us to so many temples we couldn't name now, we climbed more steep slippery steps then we care to remember and we saw some absolutely stunning things. We marveled at the sheer size of Angkor Wat, we played Tomb Raider at the tree encrusted Ta Prohm and finding solitude and Indiana Jones moments at Preah Khan. Preah Khan was exactly like we imagined the Wats would be like, a crumbling palace lost in a jungle covered by moss and giant trees.

Angkor Wat and the other temples are definitely worth a visit even though they are plagued by the same problems that Phnom Penh has. At each temple you get swamped by dozens of kids selling $1 items, "one dollar, one dollar, you buy or I cry" is what they were yelling at us. And sometimes their English extends to "Where are you from?", England we reply. "oh London capital city - lovely jubley".
