Before leaving on our tour, we had some company for breakfast 😂
We finally made it to one of the places on our must see list.
We are both very grateful for this opportunity.
First view of the Angkor Wat complex
Angkor Wat Temple
Walls around the temple tell stories about wars between the various gods
You could spend hours walking around and interpreting the carved stories
Gun shot holes on the pillars from the Khmer Rouge from 1975-1979
Notice the faces carved in the towers
The movie Tomb Raiders was filmed at this temple
Spung trees growing on the walls throughout the temple
Ebony trees were abundant in Siem Reap until the Khmer Rouge cut them down during the war
Notice the dinosaur carving in the center
We were soaking wet from the heat and humidity from our visits today - but it was amazing
Last stop drive through downtown - Pub Street is the spot in Siem Reap for restaurants and bars
