The Amazing Temples of Angkor


Angkor Wat






We spent two full days visiting the Angkor Temples in and around Siem Riep, Cambodia.   We decided to hire a guide and tuk tuk driver to take us around for the two days because we really wanted to get the most out of the experience. Our guide was well worth the 25 dollars a day, he knew absolutely everything!  He knew where and when to visit certain temples, this way we would arrive at the best time and be some of the only people there. 



Each and every temple was so incredibly different that after over 15 hours of temples we were still just as interested as the first few hours.  All and all the temples were very interesting and amazing.  It was unreal to see how much details are put into the carvings and how all the different carvings and statues relate in telling a story.  It was even more interesting to know how old the carvings and temples are, and to imagine the people carefully carving them with whatever tools were available. What an experience! The Angkor temples are truly a world wonder.
