Balloon Tether
Our final morning started with our first ever experience in a hot air balloon for a view over the site of Angkor.
The Angkor Balloon is tethered to the spot so you literally float into the sky some distance to the west of Angkor Wat for some unforgettable distant views of that temple.
Owing to the distance and dense jungle that surrounds the sites we couldn't make out any of the other temples apart from Angkor Wat, but I'm sure being equipped with a better camera and zoom lens than I then had would have made a big difference.
Certainly the sweeping view over the entire landscape at such a height was an amazing experience!
