Siem Reap, Cambodia - Bakheng Hill

For our last day in Cambodia, we decided to have the afternoon to ourselves - no driver, tour guide, or car. We wanted to slow the pace down and enjoy our last few hours in Siem Reap.



After our naps, we took a tuk tuk to the Old Market for some shopping. Then, we decided last minute to take a tuk tuk to Bakheng Hill. Bakheng Hill is a hilltop temple overlooking the entire area. We could see Angkor Wat, nearby jungle areas, and even the Tonle Sap, which is a large lake that the Mekong River flows into.



It was about a 20 minute hike to the base of the temple on top of the hill. We climbed up the temple and spent some time before hiking back down. We didn't stay through the sunset. I wanted to hike back down before it was dark. Our tuk tuk was waiting for us at the bottom, and we had a nice, cool ride back to the hotel at dark. After Brandon and I went to sleep, Steven made one last quick trip into the Old Market for a few beers.



Oh, and again, the paparazzi spotted Brandon at Bakheng Hill.
