4.30 am, wakey, wakey! We had to be ready to be picked up at 5 o'clock by Mr Chin, the tuk tuk driver. We were heading to catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat! Unfortunately it was a little too cloudy today... so fingers crossed for sunset!
We had a whole day to see all the main temples;
Angkor Wat
Angkor Thom
Bayon
Baphuon
Phimeanakas
Terrace of the elephants
Terrace of the leper king
Chay Say Thevoda
Thommanom
Ta Keo
Ta Prohm
Banteay Kdei
Along with the awesome Angkor Wat our other favourite was Ta Prohm. Looking a little overgrown by jungle and used in the Tomb Raider movie. It is truly a delight! In fact all of the temples were really interesting to see. Full of incredible carvings! We have taken lots of photos and will upload them soon.
The sunset was hidden by cloud yesterday but, not today. From a small temple overlooking the whole area, we watched as the sun set beautifully over the horizon. Magnificent!
