Angkor Wat, Cambodia

We got up really early this morning to see the sunrise on Angkor Wat. It wasn’t as nice as we had hoped. The weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t have as beautiful of colors as a possible there, but it was still quite a majestic experience.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. It’s a Buddhist temple, but it was originally built as Hindu. Cambodia as a country converted to Buddhism, so the temple was changed as well. It’s most well known in the US as the temple shown in the Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie.

There are 300 separate temples at this complex so if left to your own devices, could be here for days to see it all - so we decided to go on an organized tour and see just three of the “best” ones. Great experience.
