Siem Reap

Thursday night, Felicity and myself flew to Siem Reap for the Ankor Wat half marathon (I am running 10km).  We spent a great day Friday ‘templing’ (I invented this great new word).  Nadia and her family also flew on Friday so we had an evening catching up with them.  I forgot just how beautiful Ankor Wat and surrounding temples are. It helps that we were exceptionally lucky.  Usually at any given time there are 1000’s of people at Ankor Wat. This afternoon there might have been 10 in total. It was a Buddha day and possibly too hot.  But it was as medical to have it to ourselves.  Additionally, everyone is so friendly and it’s such a nice place to be.

I also had to fight a monkey for my bag. It grabbed it and tried to run. It was a scary fight. Thankfully I won. Not this one by the way.
