Another temple day and it’s friggin hot. Oh my lord it’s
hot, especially when you’re walking around temple’s for hours. It feels like
you’re on the surface of the sun! It’s so bloody hot I’m worried my fake
eyelashes will melt and fall off……
There are a lot of Korean tourists here and Sam, our
guide, is not very fond of them. They are disrespectful and rude. He tells us
to push in front of them all the time and I’m sure he swears at them in Khmer.
What truly amazes me about these temples is that you can
climb all over them. They are ‘really old’, Sam keeps telling us which century
they are from and provides loads of historical information, but I really don’t
listen, I think parts of my brain have melted from the heat. I’m relying on Ian
and Emily to repeat this information to me at a later stage. Spider Monkey, AKA
Tom, thinks that it's fabulous being able to climb everywhere. However his enormous feet don’t tend to fit
on most surfaces. The midget of the family on the other hand fits under all the
doorways without ducking. As there are no real ‘rules’ surrounding these ruins
its great fun to send Tom off in certain directions under the pretence of
wanting to take photos of him. Not only does this give me a great deal of
satisfaction it provides calm and tranquillity for a few minutes.
