Angkor

Angkor is just a 20 minute tuk-tuk ride from where were staying in Siem Reap. We set out to explore Angkor Wat and the other notable temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park. Built between the 9th and the 15th centuries, the park covers more than 400 square kilometers and contains the remains of many temples, including the most famous, Angkor Wat. The sights were amazing - it's hard to imagine how such huge and elaborate buildings were constructed in the middle of a jungle so long ago.
