Another day and another two temples in Angkor! The first one was Preah khan, which we had another mini jungle trek to enter through the South gate.
The second temple was East Mebon, this one had eight elephant statues.
We were offered a third temple, but I was out voted by the people on the tour, which is a shame. Though super hot and humid, I really loved the temples we saw over the last couple of says.
Angkor Eye
With the free afternoon, Sandie and I decided to check out the Angkor eye, basically a big ferris wheel. The sign promised views of the Angkor wat complex, but sadly, that was very untrue! Was still lovely views and thankfully air-conditioned. We were the only ones on there!
After the ride, we went to the spa, and it was actually Sandie’s first massage. I opted for the 4 hand massage! Which is 2 people at the same time. Was the most relaxing massage I’ve had as normally my brain will focus on what part of my body they are working on, and I have to work to relax. However, as too much was happening at once, I was able to relax properly. I’d definitely have that again.
New Hope community project
As I’ve mentioned previously with G-Adventures, they have charity projects that they support around the world. Tonight for dinner, we had lady tuk tuk drivers to take us to the restaurant. We were given a lotus when we got in the back.
The restaurant raises funds for the school that is attached. The school has kids from 3-5 years old, they also do English lessons and provide clean, safe water for the local community. I have given my details to volunteer for a day while i’m in Siem Reap.
