The trip began like any other, as a thought. A few years ago while I was living in Melbourne, it translated into Google searches and there it was, my first destination -- CAMBODIA!
'Angkor Wat' at Dawn -- Angkor Wat means City Temple, with Angkor derived from the Sanskrit word nagara (city) and Wat derived from the Khmer word Vat (temple)
Bayon-styled 'Ta Prohm', a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.
'Phnom Kulen (Kulen Mountains)' with over a 1000 lingas and Vishnu lying on his serpent Ananta, with Lakshmi at his feet.In late '08 R and I came up with plans of Cambodia in April during the '09 Easter break. On a shoe-string budget! The plan went hay-wire and I made plans overnight to travel for 5 days. January 29, 2009 - February 3, 2009!
To me, half the fun in travel lives in the feeling of being lost. To sit in the midst of it all, in awe.
And that's how I intend it to be.
