Cambodia: Part 1

At the end of P3 (our term spent in Singapore) we embarked on our last trip in Asia. We visited Siem Reap, Cambodia and Hanoi and Halong Bay in Vietnam. Cambodia was absolutely amazing. Neither of us had seen anything like Angkor Wat or the other ancient temples we visited. Here are some photos from our first day in Siem Reap.

Heading from our hotel to Angkor Wat on a tuk tuk

We made it to Angkor Wat just before sunset

So many layers of beauty at Angkor Wat

Happy tourists

Karim gets comfy

This place is just massive

Even Karim looks tiny

The level of detail everywhere is just incredible

The light starts to change

And the sun starts to set

More lion sculptures

I love the brilliant orange robes the monks wear

Striking a pose again

A quiet nook

He's higher up than he looks

A view from halfway up the highest tower

We paid a corrupt cop to take us to a section closed off to the public

Another detail of the relief sculptures throughout the temple

I just love this shot - a perfect way to end this post
