May 17-19
From Phnom Penh we took a bus to Siem Reap for a couple days. Siem Reap is famous for the nearby Angkor Wat complex – the largest religious monument/structure in the world and one of the eight wonders of the world. Angkor is sprawled over 60km’s so in order to see what you want you need at least half a day there. Because it’s so hot we decided to wake up at 4:30 and watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. Constructed during the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is certainly one of the most amazing sites either of us has ever seen. After walking around the inner walls of the temple we rode around in a tuk-tuk to approximately five other temples. These included: Bayon (faces) temple and the tomb raider temple, to name a few.
