http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33460 It's an incredibly artistic experience, with bands playing, poets reading, actors swooning and tales of life and love being shared- all set in the beautiful and intimate chapel of the House of St. Barnabas on Greek St.
There's plenty of excellent drink flowing too, especially the exotic cocktails with hilariously unbelievable names- I just wish I could remember them!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33460 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33459 It's vastness and grandeur envelops you from the moment you exit the canopy of the long, straight road from Siem Reap and you can't help but feel you've stepped far back into a magical time.
This magnificent sensation was enhanced when I decided to hire a bicycle and set off at 4am from Siem Reap to reach the temple while it was dark dark. It was incredible being able to sit back and watch the entire sunrise unfold with the temple's silhouette slowly coming into view, hearing only the flutter of dragonflies hovering over the pond in front of me.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33459 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33386
If meeting some of these incredibly friendly and enthusiastic people wasn't inspiration alone to visit, there's the beautiful landscape and the activities it enables; all in the range of a few minute's walk you have the choice to:

- Trek through the region's giant scandinavian forests
- View the countryside by cycling around the (hedgeless!) bike friendly roads that lace the rolling hills
- Kayak on one of the many nearby lakes or rivers
- Or even, if you're a winter lover, go cross country skiing when the area is blanketed in it's deep annual snowfall.

Combined, this makes Gammel Ry a fantastic place to visit if you're looking to get healthy, inspired and injected with life!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33386
