Pre-Honeymoon BreakAways!

Thursday - 27 September, Siem Reap, Cambodia

After our Redang trip, this is another challenging trip for us in 2007. Haha..Angkor Wat is the main motivation to make us think to travel Siem Reap. We really gained a lot of knowledge from this trip.

Haha..we treated this trip as our pre-Honeymoon trip, we got a fantastic and romantic hotel -- De La Paix! The service of the hotel really superb, we really appreciated their services..The best thing is our room got upgraded to Garden Deluxe.. For every request, they will fulfilled it!

Talking about the lifestyle in Siem Reap, they still considered a undeveloped country..But now it seem started building and developing by foreign investor like Korean, but really unbelievable Korean is the 1 started to invest in Siem Reap..

We had a romantic swing dinner which included in our package, the atmosphere at night really nice..But the Local Traditional Khmer foods were not really fit our appetite..Haha..Anyway..we tried every dishes..

Day 2, we started with our Ancient trip by visiting some of the main and large temple like Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Prohm, Angkor Wat and etc... When we reached the SouthGate, the scene really chilled up our mood and this is what we waiting to see since the day we planned the trip! After we explored few temples, our energy going lower, we decided to go back hotel and come tomorrow as we had purchased 3 days pass!

Day 3, we woke up @ 5:00a.m. to catch Angkor Wat sunrise scene, we called a Tuk-Tuk to drive us there..Yeah..Everywhere still in dark, Moon is the one who lead our way..As we had no tour guide, no guide book, nothing to guide us where is the best angle for Sunrise..Hence, we keep following those group tourists..Haha..Finally we found it but unfortunely, Sun not in mood and shy on the day, he hiding behind clouds, we disappointed and went back to hotel for breakfast.

I think i should stop here and go grab my lunch..hungry now..Long story to go..Haha..
I uploaded some pictures which i taken in Siem Reap with my Nikon D80, building my knowledge in photography. Haha..
