R) for so long it was no surprise that it wasn't too bad (a bit bumpy) but the road has been slightly improved in recent times and we saw the construction of the new road so future travellers to SR are in for a treat ! Even though our bus slyily dropped us off at a guesthouse out of town, we decided to stay as it was really nice and only $4 a night. The main attraction of SR is definitely Ankor Wat but the town itself is quiet nice and almost tranquil. We took the first day to relax and headed out to the temples for sunset which wasn't too bad but we were shocked by the number of tourists (come to think of it there is an unbelievable amount of 5 star resorts in the area).
After sunset it was only fitting that we also visited for Sunrise (only about 5000 other tourists came up with this plan), love those 5.30 starts!! The temples come with quiet a reputation but I have to say they were incredible (easily on a par with Machu Pichu), we visited about 8 different 
sights over the 12 hours and still weren't bored even if we got a little tired. I could well imagine spending 2/3 days there but we were happy enough with what we saw even if we missed out on some of the temples on the outskirts. We were also privlidged enough to visit the temple that featured in tomb raider (something to be really proud of!!)
