This morning, thanks to our amazing driver, Don, Nick and I experienced a magical moment at Angkor: in this park that receives over 2 million visitors a year, we had a temple complex entirely to ourselves. We had originally given Don the name of a few places we wanted to go when he said: "I thought this morning to take you to Banteay Samre.". We had not talked about going to that temple. In fact, it was out of the way we had planned on going and spending the day. But Don had been right about everything else we've done the last three days so we listened. Brilliant move.
A small ruin, but we were completely alone. Only a few caretakers. Really remarkable.
We managed to hit some of the most popular temples, ones that are always crowded, and have sections completely to ourselves. A perfect ending to a memorable four days.
Tomorrow we head to Phnom Penh and then onto Aceh!!!
