Day 49: Siem Reap, Cambodia: Tuk Tuk!

530AM: Woke up to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat w/the Brits. We hired a tuk-tuk for the day for $20. We checked out the Roluos group of temples.

We hired a few boats to take us through an amazing stilt village. 100s of buildings and houses, each about 5m off the ground. Then we floated through a flooded forest that led to the largest lake in SE Asia.

We drove to the other side of the lake and hired more boats to take us through the floating villages. 1000s of houses and buildings and... basketball courts?... all on old wooden boats in the middle of the giant lake. It's just like a normal village except... on the water! It was pretty crazy.
