After spending a quick but very interesting few days in Phnom Penh we high-tailed it to Siem Reap to see what we hoped would be one of the highlights of our trip - Angkor Wat. It is difficult to put into words exactly what to say about this place, so I will be brief. WOW! The whole place is an insight into the past that books, tv programs and even websites cannot dare to emulate. We were both incredibly amazed from the minute we entered the area to the minute we left, I think this can be demonstrated by the number of photo's we took. Angor Wat is just one of the many temples within Angkor, it is the most easily recognisable. You have probably seen the following photo somewhere before. But obviously without Priya in it!

Our favourite temple was Ta Phrom, this is because it is the only temple that has not been cleared properly since its discovery. We managed to get lost in here for quite some time so we had plenty of opportunities to take photo's. After much deliberation this is our favourite.

I've visited Angkor twice now. In that place I understood the true meaning of inner peace. I suggest you to visit it for Sunrise, it worth 100% the early wake up. ;-) http://www.angkorwhat.net
