Cambodia - Part 2 - Angkor
We took the night bus from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap, we both woke a couple of times during the trip to witness the bus driver attempting to break the sound barrier, but arrived safely at 6am the following morning. At the bus station we met Sinnet who would become our driver for the next couple of days around the temples. After a couple of hours sleep in the afternoon and some dinner, Sinnet came and took us to one of the temples for sunset. It was very crowded but the views were amazing a really good taster for the following day. The next morning Sinnet was waiting for us at 5am to catch sunrise at Angkor Wat and then take us on a day tour of the other temples in the Angkor region. It was a really long day but one of the most fascinating experiences, The Bayon Temple and the "Movie" temple were highlights and of course the sunrise at Angkor Wat.
Ze Sihanoukville do Siem Reapu nas privezl nocni autobus, oba dva jsme se behem jizdy parkrat probudili a byli svedky toho, jak se ridic snazi prekonat rychlost zvuku, ale dorazili jsme v poradku v 6hodin rano. Na nadrazi jsme potkali Sinneta, ktery se na par dni stal nasim ridicem. Po par hodinach spanku a veceri pro nas prijel Sinnet, aby nas vzal do Angkoru, a my mohli videt zapad slunce. Bylo tam silene moc lidi, ale pohled na zapad Slunce byl prekrasny. Dost nas to nadchlo a tak jsme odjizdeli s pocitem jak se nemuzeme dockat dalsiho dne. V pet hodin rano nas Sinnet vyzvedl, abychom se mohli pokochat prozmenu vychodem Slunce nad Angkor Watem a pote nas provezl po okoli, abychom mohli videt vice chramu. Byl to dlouhy den, ale plny zazitku. Nejvic nas zaujal chram Bayon, kde se natacel Indian Jones a film Tomb Raider..... ale ani vychod Slunce nemel zadnou chybu.
Next we go to see a silk farm were they show us the whole silk farming proceess from worm to scarf and then heading down to Phnom Penh were we will see the horrors of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge . . . to be continued . . .
Jako dalsi exkurzi se chystame navstivit tovarnu na vyrobu hedvabi, kde nam ukazi cely proces od cerviku po salu a pote vyrazime do Phnom Penh, kde budeme svedky hrozneho rezimu Rudych Khmeru v cele s vudcem Pol Potem . . . pokracovani priste . . .
