Ankor Wat Temples Day 3
For the last day of our Temple Tour we decided to get up early and go to see the sunrise. We weren't even put off by the 4.30am start. The Tuk-tuk ride there was so cold and I was starting to think I would have been better off staying in bed. We got to Banteay Kdei Temple, and in the light of the moon, climbed to the top. It was quite unnerving, being in a place like that, just the two of us, in the dark.
The sunset was good, not spectacular, but the best part of it was that there was no one else around. We looked around four or five temples that morning, without seeing anyone else. It seemed so much more like you would expect temples to be, so relaxing and peaceful.
Just as we finished looking at our last temple of the day (by this time it was about 9.30am) the first coach load of the day arrived. We just walked straight past the hordes, got into our Tuk - tuk, quietly congratulating ourselves that our early morning had been so worth while.
