I've decided to merge my final day into one post. Day 3 first destination is Banteay Srei, it also known as citadel of woman or citadel of beauty. One of the earliest structure in the Angkor region. Comparing carvings and structure this would be one top spot to see, it is miniature in size compare to those mega temples you see else where. The building is also made of different materials, It is made of red sandstone, therefore it is maroon and beautiful to look at under the sun.
Next we head to Kbal Spean, we have to pay more to our driver due to the distance. It is the National Park. Traveling time is about 30-40mins from Banteay Srei. We hike a total of about 4-5KM here in the National Park. Saw some really cool ancient carvings now under a stream. There is a tiny waterfall here. We did the craziest things of all which is strip down to our undergarments and go for a freezing pour under the waterfall. We brought no spare clothes and the initial plan was to go commando after the dip. Eventually we hike down with wet undies/boxers.
We missed Angkor Wat too much so we decided to drop by again for our second sunset viewing. I could come back and see this over and over again. Its just so pretty. When night comes we headed back for a shower and rushed for our dinner because we need to do our souvenir shopping and our massage session. The night lasted till 5 in the morning. We slept for an hour and woke up to go the air-port. We were like zombies i swear. We sleep almost at any moment that is possible for us to do so.
