It's really hot, hot, hot in Angkor Wat, Wat, Wat

After going to bed at 7:45pm last night, we got up bright and early at 4:30am this morning. We had arranged for our tuk-tuk driver (Sarith) to pick us up at 5am to head out to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat. We arrived at the site in pitch-black darkness, but we joined some people that had a flashlight and trekked on over to get a prime position in front of the water to see the sun's reflection when coming up. Waiting for the sun to actually appear was like watching paint dry, but once it was on the move, it was amazing! I videod the few minutes where it came over the top of the wat and that turned out great. By this time, it was 7am and we were off and running. The Angkor complex consists of 27 temples and other buildings, so there was a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. Angkor Wat, the main temple, is the true symbol of Cambodia and is the building represented in the middle of the Cambodian flag. We decided to leave the viewing of this particular temple for later, so we could hit some of the other temples before the crowds came. We went to Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple, The Terrace of the Elephants, The Terrace of the Leper King, Ta Keo, Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei, Pre Rup, Banteay Srei and finally Angkor Wat. It was ungodly hot at a near 100 degrees and full sun, but we were able to burn through the complex in just under 12 hours and nearly 200 pictures! We were completely whipped, but all in all, it was a great day and we were completely proud of ourselves for having done the majority of the temples in one day. Tomorrow, we are here in Siem Reap all day and then fly back to Bangkok around 9pm. Our flight leaves the next morning to go to Ko Chang where we'll begin the chill-out period of our trip. Can't wait...
