Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I wanted to spend hours poking around the corners and investigating the carvings. 


Instead we stumbled around following many tourists and trying not to collapse from illness and heat. 


Seriously, we've never walked so little and required so much rest. 


And after 10 days of illness and resting ourselves in bed we were feeling so much better. We really thought that we could spend the whole day in the temples. 


Nope. Look, I'm dead in the eyes. We should have known considering that walking down 2 floors in the hotel to get a bottle of water was utterly exhausting. We watched a lot of CSI and House because you can only watch so much KTV (sort of a Cambodian karaoke sing-along?). 


TJ couldn't even fake a smile. 


If you look at this statue you can see that no one can resist putting their greasy hands on this Apsara dancers boobs. 


It is possible to climb up to the top of one of those towers. We got tired looking at it, so no climbing. I had even brought a long sleeved top to be respectful while up in the highest part of Angkor Wat. 


After a little over an hour we slowly made our way back to the tuk-tuk and insisted we go back to the hotel. 


This is the best photo of the two of us. We couldn't be bothered try again. Ugh. Oh well. We'll just have to go back someday!
