02 Dec 2008, Siem Reap, Cambodia
We're done with our temple tours in Siem Reap, having visited nearly every temple on the grounds. Towards the end, we looked at each other and decided that we could pass on the last temple. I actually thought it were a temple that we had already seen. There's a certain point of temple burn-out that you will always reach. It's somewhere between 2 and 3 days. Instead, the pool awaited for an early afternoon nap. The Bangkok airport is still closed, so traveling from this little tropical eden is somewhat limited. I guess there are worse places in the world to be stranded, right?

One of my favorite movies is City of Ghosts, filmed in Cambodia. But not just anywhere in Cambodia, they filmed a major scene in the movie at the Bokor Hill Station -- an abandoned French casino and Hotel on the top of a wind-swept mountain. For years I've wanted to venture up there and see it for myself. Today was that day and I have to say that it was one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen in my life. I have photos, which is probably the only way to describe the buildings.
