Spoiler alert: today entails a lot of temples.
We started the day early: about 4am. We boarded the bus and headed straight to the ticket office where we had our photo taken (everyone’s favourite thing to do at 4:30 in the morning) for our golden tickets to Angkor Wat.
I think we both knew that this morning was going to be tough. But I do think it’s so important to educate ourselves and the world about atrocities such as those inflicted by the Khmer Rouge regime. The hope is we would learn by example and it’s unfathomable that things like this are still going on in our world today.
After our fairly late finish last night we had an early rise for breakfast and to start the day. And my what a day it’s been!
Starting slightly later today after spending the morning picking up laundry and organising for the next leg our our trip, we wanted a more chilled out wander round Hong Kong for our last full day here.
After yesterday’s mountain climb we wanted to take today a little easier, it turns out we didn’t. We decided to stay on the mid-levels and explore just a little further east on the Island today, and see what else there is to see.
