Since we were traveling with the kids, we hired an airconditioned van that provided cold drinks and chilled towels each time we climbed back in. We loved visiting the temples (well, me more than the kids), but I didn't manage to make it to Angkor Wat in time for sunrise.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861157705619585369.post-77325023797530751912016-11-21T11:59:47.009-05:002016-11-21T11:59:47.009-05:00Hi Eileen!

I would normally enjoy having a guide to show me around this type of place, but in the July heat it would have been too much! Maybe one day I'll get back there again and travel during a month with more tolerable temperatures!

But we did have a guide. They are so inexpensive and really worth it because they can tell you the myths and stories depicted in the stones and more about what you are looking at. And they took us places we probably would not have found on our own. Also, they usually got us up early, took us around, returned us to the hotel for lunch and a swim in the hottest part of the day and then took us out again in the afternoon/early evening, which is better than we would have paced ourselves. I recommend it. eileen ghttps://www.familiesgotravel.com/2012/04/angkor-management-how-to-tour-angkor-wat-with-a-toddler/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861157705619585369.post-10814813115956312632016-11-20T08:47:23.802-05:002016-11-20T08:47:23.802-05:00I love your awesome photos!

It was very hot but we found zipping around on electric bikes was a great way to beat the heat and explore the temple complex.
