Angkor Wat

Our first stop in Cambodia was Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is the biggest religious monument ever built and certainly one of the most spectacular. In the area surrounding there is also the ancient city of Angkor Thom as well as numerous other temples. Most of the temples were built over a thousand years ago and are evidence of an impressive civilization.

Having heard numerous stories about the beauty of this temple area our expectations were high. It was even more impressive than we could have ever imagined.

Walking through these temple ruins left us speechless. It is hard to imagine that these enormous temples with all their fine details were constructed without a single piece of machinery.
