When you visit the temples in Angkor, you need a pass. The one they buy as standard for the G-Adventure tour is a 3 day one. We used 2 of them for our temple trips, which meant I had one more day to use on my own.
I wanted to go back to Angkor Wat to walk over the bridge and see the iconic view from the front entrance. When we were here for the sunrise, we did walk over this and through, but it was pitch black and very busy at the time. We left via a different entrance, so I never got the picture I wanted. I did today, though!
The other thing I wanted to do was the Angkor balloon. This helium balloons goes up 120 metres and is said to give you an amazing view of the Angkor Wat complex. I originally got the tuk tuk directly here at 2.30pm, but it was deemed too windy to fly. I waited till 3pm and then walked to the temple. When I was about ready to leave the temple, I saw the balloon up in the air, so I decided to try again! Lucky for me it did go up this time. Was only a 10 minute ride but amazing views and only alittle bit rocky, but with the netting and hand rails, I felt pretty safe.
