Cambodia Day 1

This will probably be the least wordy blog of all due to the fact that it's hard to put into words what we did and saw in Cambodia. We spent 3 nights in Siem Reap and spent two full days touring the Angkor Wat park. Read about it here because I will not do it justice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat

We hired a tuktuk driver for two days who proceeded to pick us up at 4:30am so that we could see the sunrise over the temple.
By this point in the day (not even 6:00am, we were already sweating profusely. So hot!)
The moat surrounding the temple.
Can you see me?
Next was Bayon Temple
Baphuon Temple
So steep!
Elephant Terrace
Our home for 2 days
Chau Say Tevoda
Ta Keo Temple
Ta Prohm
Pre Rup
Banteay Kdei
Sras Srang
After a full day we headed back to the hotel to relax and clean up and then were back at it again at sunset!
Phnom Bakheng
That's Angkor Wat in the background.
From there we went to a dinner show that had beautiful traditional Cambodian dancing and then we called it a night early so that we could be up early again the next day.
