It's 17:20 pm, we've been here for over 2 hours already, it must be said that there's plenty to spend those two hours. Strolling through the galleries, relaxing by the water, admiring the architecture from every angle and being curious all around the temple.
But at this time in these countries it is time for the sun to say goodbye and see you tomorrow. The setting sun over Angkor Wat remains a unique moment, like every sunset in the background, but there is a different dimension here, a little mystical touch in this magical place at the other end of this good old France.
There is only one thing left to end this day, enjoy the spectacle of colors and lights and contemplate the best that the earth has to offer for our eyes.
There are already a lot fewer people at this time.
The reflections highlight the “polishing” of the bas-reliefs following many wandering hands…
The highlight of the show, the full moon is there.
The last tourists are leaving, just like us.
A library entrance with a forest in the background (I know it’s all dark…)
The sky was beautiful that evening.
We had an appointment that evening with Jocelyne (met on a well-known travel forum) and her travel companions. We discussed what we had seen and done so far. When it was time to eat, everyone split up, each wanting to eat what they wanted without necessarily wanting to impose their choice.
One night stand. A big hello to them if they come across this blog!
What better way to end this wonderful day than with a good meal at our favorite restaurant?
« the Angkor Famous » whose waitresses inevitably end up recognizing us.
The street is not very wide but it is a very busy pedestrian street, it is a clue to find the restaurant!
