Angkor Wat


Our main reason of going to Cambodia was going to see Angkor Wat. We decided to do a one day tour. We hired a "tuk tuk" driver to take us around. The area that the ruins cover is huge! In the morning we went to see some of the lesser known ruins. They were very impressive. Some had huge trees growing right around and out of them. We spent the whole day driving and walking around. We could not get over how many people were there though. It became slightly frustrating trying to take pictures but we got a few. In the after noon we went to see the famous Angkor Wat. It was impressive, however didn't wow us like we thought it would. It was smaller than we had both pictured. Our plan was to stay until sunset as that is when it gets the best colour, but the day we went it was cloudy and the sunset was not going to be impressive. We both are very glad we went to see the ruins and we both really liked Cambodia. It was much more westernized than we thought, however much more expensive than we thought.
