Day 2

Day -2 Angkor Wat Temple

After the Day 1 ended with exploring local place at Siem Reap . Our Next day schedule was Visiting Angkor Wat early morning for sunrise shoot. As per we had to leave by 4 am from our hotel for Angkor Wat. Me & my roommate were awake from morning 3 am,we were told if we dont meet by 4 am at hotel reception they wont wait & the group will leave. Last day as we had checked in together we had our group members at our floor but surprisingly they had changed their room & have shifted to down floor & we weren't aware of this . Morning we were waiting for someone who might leave room early will knock our doors but no one showed up & no one informed on whats app group so me & my room mate missed our bus for Angkor Wat and other group members too went for the shoot.

We were Thankful to our Hotel Receptionist for being so humble . He dropped us at morning 4 am till the ticket counter of Angkor Wat. As we reached there we saw again our bus missed again helpless as we had to get tickets from there . We queued up for the ticket & bumped our other two group member who had missed bus from hotel same.

We four had to go Angkor Wat from the ticket counter .Morning we had been up for the task in unknown country . That's how something made memorable day for us and lesson learned be on time . We took an Local Transport from there is called "TukTuk''. We need to bargain the prices 1$ per person you can give for travelling. We finally reached our destination found our group already sitting near the lake to get the perfect shot we missed our chance but fortunately they said due to climate being cloudy sunrise was not able to captured sign of relief we saw four of us to each other .

This is the place where sunrise shoot is mostly captured outside Angkor Wat Temple Entrance.
