Cambodia 2nd day

On second day, I wake up early to get the sunrise picture of Angkor wat

The sunrise picture on my previous post was actually taken on my 2^nd dayJ

I depart from hotel @ 5 o’clock and stop at bread shop for take away order, so that I may have some breakfast later after the sunrise.

Holy crap…the bread is USD 2, what kind of bread was that??? It’s even more expensive than my Khmer noodle/ Fried rice

I swear I will never buy that bread ever againL

So for economical reason, I keep that bread for lunch too (backpacker mode: ON) heheheheh

It was very cold that morning, my tuk tuk runs with 30 km/hr speed…I cannot imagine if it runs faster than that, I’ll be frozen

I also learn that it is wise to bring my sleeping bag when I have to depart this early morning, to cover up my body. I’ll do it next timeJ

My itinerary today is to visit Angkor wat, Bayon temple, and continue with the little circuit (Angkor thom complex, ta prohm, takeo, thommanon, chau say thevoda etc.)

Bayon temple was very nice, thanks to my brother advice that I directly goes to the third level to take the picture of bayon face during the golden hour. Because that is the short moment that we can take the impactful image of Bayon face

When the sun is high, the face will be flat and less interesting

When the sun getting high, I move to Baphuon and other Angkor thom complex…wow it’s damn hot in the afternoon

Especially during this rainy season, the humidity is high…so it’s very easy to get sweaty

My 1 litre water bottle seems not enough for that day…tomorrow I should bring more water!

Baphuon is currently under restoration project, so does some other temple (including Angkor)…that’s good for the temple, but not good for photographerL
