Cambodia Laos and Thailand, Touring Angkor Wat & Siem Reap, 5 February 2001

The thought of flying through the night, losing seven hours in the process and still getting up and touring hard the next day would be inconceivable for us now. But 25 years ago (as I write in early 2026) that is exactly what we did.

…then [we] go off to tour Angkor Wat.

Cover whole complex in a great deal of detail.

Dig the Naga features.

There’s nothing like tits and bums sculptures to up the visitor rate at a site like Angkor Wat – in the same way, such photos up the click rate on a web site like Ogblog

Up and up we went.

Intrepid – that’s the word for climbing explorers like me. Iantrepid even.

The site at twighlight.

Daisy struggled to get the difference between Angkor Wat the temple and the rest of the old City complex!

I don’t suppose Daisy’s new biker boy friends explained it to her either.

[We] go to souvenir shop and then on to market before we realised how tired we were.

As usual, Daisy (Janie) got some superb market photos

Back to hotel for a splendid meal of mixed delights and early night.

We didn’t take many pictures in hotel restaurants back then, so thanks to Ayustety from Tokyo for the following Wikimedia Commons pictures.
