Angkor
From Siem Reap we visited the largest religious monument in the world - Angkor Wat. With 2 motor bike drivers we left at 05.00 to see Angkor Wat as the sun rose. Many tourists had the same idea, but the area was deftly quiet, everyone seemingly respecting the peaceful message that these collosal ancient buildings give. The whole area of Angkor was more than amazing. The numerous temples in the middle of the Cambodian jungle seems like something out of an adventure film. We spent from sunrise to sunset exploring around 10 temples in an area stretching 40 miles, including Ta Phrom temple which is still surrounded by jungle vegetation with giant trees intwining the stonework. We returned to Angkor Wat watching the sun set from the highest point of the temple. This place should be on everyone's list.
