27 to 29/03 - Angkor and Angkor
And voila c is left for three days of visit temples.
** Day 1 **
up at 4:30, a small cafe and direction of the pass and buy our first temple ankgor Wat.
The sunrise is waiting for the sky is slightly overcast but it gives us time to appreciate the scene. Site C is a pretty impressive by its size, it is situated on an island and the locations are fairly well preserved (I can not wait to get to download the pictures to show you).
We spent 3 hours in this place has to look at the engravings, as impregnier places.
The sun begins to climb therefore direction of other temples history to enjoy the day. We will learn the hard way that this season was the warmest time (c is to say that at that moment, well it's really really really mega cho ...) c is from 10:30 to 12:30.
tuc tuc were resumed the leadership and the Bayon. C is really my favorite temple. From afar it looks just four laps but a fact dessinnent faces by turns. By avoiding some troops Koreen tourists, Chinese and others are mounted on the highest point of the site. C is really beautiful faces that are emerging everywhere. But hey wait has come to take a picture with no tourists. But this does not detract from the magic.
Since then we started to chain the temples for the day. We take our time, but not too many breaks. A watermelon at noon, you can really nothing else to swallow because of the heat, one or two breaks al shadow and if possible with a small current dair not hot ... and here we go: Elephant terrace, terrace of the Leper King, Phimeanakas (nothing but marches not much), the Baphaon (not much to see in the works), Chau Say Tevoda, Thommanonm, Takeo, Ta Phrom (c is in the jungle with all the trees that have taken precedence over the stones, looove), and continues: Bomteay Kdey and PRASET Kraven (not like at all).
short more than 12 temples in the day and fatigue enooorme. We will not sunset tonight, we can, but it was full of great images in the head and the camera!
2nd day ** **
Levee 5am for sunrise in the temple of our choice. We decided to go to the Bayon (the one with all faces) because our favorite one but also because it seemed to me that m c is said melody and nath. Bon ben nope, do not go down in the s waiting to see the sunrise of your life, the trees hide the soelil the coup was nothing out of hand and one thing not less. We were at 5:30 at the Bayon and we were alone. no guide to control the entry has no tourists until about 6:30.
It was an incredible moment, only in this magical place, just for us all the faces ... My favorite moment of serenity! So yes, we need not go for the sunrise (you will see lots of others) but the magic of this place!
And then we had our tranquility arranche (oki doggies have come around) and continue our visit: Preah Khon (Temple completely destroyed but where you stroll with very few tourists and where there is a a detour for wall a beautiful courtyard ... a super short time) Neah Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon, Bantey Samrei, Pre Rup.
A good day here again. Back not too late to the guest house, shower fresh and maybe a snack in town (well what there is still no mage of journne just drank too much because you said cho) ... nope nothing in bin made of it all, just a shower and a ... nap. It s is collapsed as the masses.
the evening we went to see a dance performance in front of a small apsara fruit cocktail.
** Day 3 **
Levee later (starting at 6am, luxury) and depart for the more remote temples.
En route we assitons the end of a beautiful sunrise and direction The temple dedicated to women Banteay Srei, with the beautiful glow of the morning.
After some time in tuctuc (Me and a nap, and yes, despite the noise and chaos of motorbike road I am succeeded emdormir) towards the Rolios, a place that brings together three main temples which is Bakong . A magnificent pyramidal temple!
Small aprem quiet sunset at Phrom Bakheng. C is a temple in height where one can see Angkor Wat. Height bin it means climbing a hill and then climb to the top of the temple.
Sunset has started badly, a lot of cloud so many tourists are gone. J avoueq j ue had wanted to follow suit because all these steps down in the dark does not boot me too. But Kim convinced me to wait .. and I admit she was right. A beautiful sunset. Thanks to my big zoom J made pictures of beautiful sunshine violation. The Japanese are much appreciated. And since the weather was overcast, even al opposes setting any layer of the sun the sky s is dyed pink. Incredible! and it is not even back down in the dark:)
ps: Nath'm not fallen and broken no pants
ps2: I who has complained steps sapa, I've never been so climbs of stairs. I say climb because I know how they were al era but some steps are super close and super high. To climb OK, but for the descent'm a coward, so I down like .. let's just prudent;)
balance, no fall, no pants cracks, and tons of photos and memories.

22 to 25/03 - 20/03 and Hanoi Land
and here we return to Hanoi.
But a 5:30 matte .. Ben is not much to open.
As the hotel is available that has 13h, we will go visit some pagodas, temples and the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh.
So the direction Ancier french quarter. c is a corner embassy has done. Fortunately the mausoleum opens at 7.30.
And we are far ahead as you can imagine;)
But the world is very quickly from the blow it bends to the law of tourists queuing.
And then finally enters the mausoleum ... 1h 10min wait to face a Ho Chi Minh really well preserved ... c is impressive to see a Depuille like this
The Journe will continue quietly from a few visits and rain accompanied us.
The other days were punctuated by visits fartniente and stroll through the old city.
c is funny how quickly takes its brands. I had an apprehension Because of the noise in Hanoi and then to find the city too stressful but instead they are well taken taste.
the sun joined us for the end of the stay, we even offer s of ice to refresh;) well yeah what!
otherwise, to answer your questions cooking we ate in the street are actually quite good and others more bland. My favorite dish that was a little greasy spoon: rice pasta that is dipped in a sauce / juice with a little spicy meatballs grid ... yum yum
and what strange things, ben j ai eat dog. c was the opportunity or never!
c is a very caouchouteuse meat, not nervous glance rather odd in the mouth. The taste is not bad but ONB is fast enough, personally, ecouere.
we tasted the meat rack and spring rolls to the dog. c is served with various sauces, cucumber and salt ... why the cucumber ... ben no idea and saw that people could speak almost no English, we had trouble enough to command:)
a small cultural museum visit, a little shopping and zouhh departing for Cambodia.

18/03 - Ninh Binh and sleep on the train
A new connection, new stories then:)
Our stay in Ninh Binh s is going really well.
c is the Land Along Bay, a lot of walks in the middle of risieres with rocky peaks that surround you.
j I really love this place especially since we rides mopeds for 2 days corners completely devoid of cars.
c is funny but the sound of my horn does not miss a second.
Our 2 German were of very good company.
Once the hotel, the bikes and find the guide towards Tam Coc. Lunch at a local restaurant and then stroll of3 hours of aumilieu risieres, rocky peaks. brief foot! plus we sommesaarives quite late in the sudden we splintery wave of tourists.
The only problem this walk is that c reaches the end before turning around, there are plenty of small boats to dock AUI us that we bought a drink at our rowing machine, a small grandpa 80 years. Bon ben je 'm weak and jai Buy, as they don ontpas hasrd by drinking, it must be the same bobbin that is sold to all tourists.
We then found our guide (Sih) for a walk at sunset in the middle of rice fields.
The next day trip to Hoa Lu (old city) and other rivers. The best of this day ... the ride amid breathtaking scenery and tranquility. Least one is mounted on a small Colinn to see a small temple shrine zero walks year-ending and slippery downhill:)
Depart to Hanoi in late after noon after a small cafe Chua (Coffee with milk sweetened condensed, super saw how good their coffee is strong).
Once arrived in Hanoi, directionla Central Station to catch the night train ...
The little story of that visit, my Kim sold to the owner of the hotel ... j I am managed to escape, but I have not had a trip to me:)
