Angkor Wat pt. 1

We made it to Angkor Wat, warmed up by the sites at Prah Vihear and Phanom Rung, we were ready for the crowning glory of the Khmer Civilization. There is no way to be really prepared for the experience, hundreds of architectural masterpieces built from 1100 to 1500 AD. Angkor Wat was the capitol for the Khmer kingdom, mostly Hindu, Buddha images started to emerge in later construction. Needless to say the site was very photogenic (we did our best to keep up).....

As is the fashion, we hired a tuk-tuk for 3 days of touring, Naron is just starting out in the business and enjoyed catching a quick nap while we explored....

Oh Angkor, how I love thee. I hope you said hello to my Apsaras!
