Last day in Siem Reap

Sunrise is far too early. Try getting two kids up at 4.30am that aren’t even in the same room as you! Holy Moly….

The sunrise over Angkor Wat was spectacular and the ambience really eerie. Now back to the children. We were supposed to be in a connecting room – this didn’t happen. They are on the same floor as us just a few doors down. This would not be a concern for most family’s. We are not most family’s…. Yesterday I hopped out of the shower to discover that there was not a single towel left in our room. Emily had taken all of them. Ian had to run down to reception while I stood naked, patiently waiting. My shampoo and conditioner keep disappearing and last night I turned on the air conditioning for them as they were complaining they were hot. This morning at 4.30am they were whinging that they had been cold all night as they couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. Good thing I got them up early. They forget to lock their door, or lock they their door while the key is still inside. Last night I checked on them before I went to sleep and noticed a walkie-talkie on the table beside their bed. Of cause neither of the kids had noticed this (I assumed housekeeping must have left it). As soon as I pointed it out Tom started jabbering into it. As I was walking back to my room staff were running up the stairs towards the kids room LOL



Sunrise - Angkor Wat

Jungle Temple - we climb like Indiana Jones!

At lunch Emily stated that she was now 'done' with temples and was hoping that there wasn't anymore to be seen in Asia - ha ha ha 

After we were finished 'templeing' we drove to Tonle Sap Lake. Tonle Sap Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia. Many of the residents live in stilt houses or floating houses to accommodate the flood waters during the monsoon.
