Temples

On the 26th of December we decided that it would be our tourist day. We woke up early, had breakfast at our guesthouse and walked out into the streets. Of course, we were greeted by a team of tuk tuk drivers wanting to bring us wherever we wanted to go. We negotiated the price and were on our way.

I was so excited to see all this stuff. You can refer to an earlier post if you want the history.

We paid our 20 dollars and were dropped off at the entrance.





Here's a monkey. There were lots of them around the temples.




Angkor Wat. It was beautiful. I have lots of pictures, but looking at stone is fun for only so long.




A lot of the Buddha's were missing their heads. It must have been the French!








Aaron is scared of heights and some of the temples had VERY steep stairs. The Japanese guys behind him got a kick out of it too.






This was a little village next to the temples. We were walking along the trail and this boy insisted that we follow him. He did not speak much English, but he repeated "Feet of Buddha" over and over again.




This man was slowly walking by us. There were many Buddhists sporting the traditional orange outfit. I tried to secretly take his picture, but it looks like he caught me.




The rest of these are Angkor Thom. I enjoyed this temple the most.










It was a fun morning and next we headed to the Tonle Sap (my favorite part of the trip).
