On the second day in Saigon we left for a three day Semester at Sea trip to Cambodia and Angkor Wat. We flew to Siem Reap and spent the afternoon visiting and climbing Angkor Wat-the largest temple. Note the pics that show proof that Tina did indeed climb to the highest level of the temple. In the evening we went to a restaurant that featured a show of traditional Cambodian dancing. The second day was "temple marathon" day...we visited ten smaller temples near Angkor Wat. In many ways the smaller temples were more impressive than Angkor Wat. Some had been completely cleared of the jungle vegetation and others had been left with tree roots snaking through the temple stones. Tina's favorite temple was the one that is in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider". It was truly cool. As the sun set on Angkor Wat we expected the treasure to be revealed when the sun hit a certain spot. No such luck!
