Angkor Temples, Cambodia

hi all,

we arrived to Siem Reap (Cambodia) 4 days ago. This has been our camp base for the compulsory visit to the Angkor Temples. For those of you who do not know about them, they are a massive architectonic structures built by the Khmer empire between the 9t and the 12th centuries. They are really awesome and a MUST !! We explored ancient temples, climbing steet stairs and rented bicycles !! Yesterday our electric bikes ran out of battery and we had to pedal solid for 20km and that was a real adventure !! Kids who try and sell you water are really cool and we made a couple of friends !! In the evenings we made friends with some local girls, and we went to a kind of fair where they were selling local products, it was really good fun and you see umbelievable things. We shared some pinaples with some street kids. Last night we had a body massage by some blind women and that was great !!
Tomorrow we are going to hang out here and then we are off to Laos !! that should be good fun !!

hola desde Siem Reap,

un pueblecito al lado de los templos de Angkor, en Cambodia. Es un lugar alucinante, con unos templos que fueron construidos entre el siglo 9 y el 12 por el imperio Khmer !! Es una de las maravillas del mundo !! a veces paseando por una de las ruinas parece que las estes descubriendo tu y es tremendo !! Hemos subido templos superempinados, alquilado bicis y explorado sitios magicos !! Ayer se nos rompio la bici y tuvimos que pedalear 20km una bici electrica que pesaba 50kg !! pffffffffffff.
Los ninyos que te venden bebidas y pantalones son majisimos, no les compramos pq son los padres los que tendrian que estar vendiendolos, pero nos hacemos amigos de muchos y les hacemos gracia (pq vamos en bici sin camiseta en plan ganyan) y es muy divertido.
Esta manyana se ha ido Chiqui, y ahora Javitron y yo nos quedamos aqui un dia mas y el miercoles nos vamos para Laos !!

estoy divinamente,

O.
