oh sorry
still asleep thank you
good morning everybody and what am I doing wandering around in
the dark past some statues well I'm off to see sunrise in Angkor Wat
now I got up before dawn got a pack lunch got my tuk-tuk driver was waiting
for me took it out here now I'm wandering
through the dark trying to find a nice spot in front of one of the reflection
pools in front of Angkor Wat main building to find a nice beautiful spot
to watch the sunrise
peaceful early morning we get up to see Angkor Wat
escaping from the crowds by getting up really early
along with a
few hundred other people
and waiting for sunrise
it is one of the things to do at Angkor Wat seeing the
sunrise over the temple towers
but it's a bit cloudy today so might not get a sunrise
anyway good morning
and welcome to Angkor
I'm at a Second Temple now
as you can see the sun has come out
we've got a little bit of sun
and so have the crowds
it is hectically busy I know this is the busy season dry but there are people
everywhere
selfie city eat your heart out
take a selfie
it is incredibly busy, it's still very beautiful
amazing architecture so many temples now
what I've done I've just gone to the two busiest ones first get them out the way
just to have a look around and get some footage for you which I'll show you in a
little while
and then I'm gonna head out 'cos the nice thing with the city of Angkor
because Angkor Wat is the big temple we were at for sunrise
the whole complex is
Angkor so the nice thing with the city of
Angkor is that there is a lot of ruins and it is very spread out so although a
lot of people do tend to concentrate on going to the big ones famous ones which
is the most restored ruins and the most well known, oops try not to fall, down there is lots
of others that you can do so this morning ticked off the big ones then I
sit down have something to eat and then afterwards I'm gonna head out to see
some of the quieter areas I hope anyway that's my plan
Elephant road block
and after surviving the crowds of the first two really popular temples I've
taken a route a little bit further away from the what's called the inner cell
circuit to one of I think most beautiful temples to walk around it's still got
quite a few people
but let me show you it
and now a reminder that, wear sensible shoes that are worn in, you will do a lot
of walking and if you choose to go up to some of the on top of some of the money
and you will do a lot of climbing up quite steep ladders but the view oh it's
worth the climb
