Indiana Jones anyone?

The Temples of Angkor Wat= Day 2

We ended up hiring an English guide from the hotel and our own personal Tuk-Tuk.  It was the best way to see the area since this place was enormous!  One of the things that I had forgotten was that you needed to wear certain clothing to be respectful.  I had long shorts that would go down to right above my knees and when I came out the lady at the front desk told me that I needed something longer.  So, it was “take two” and I had to go back in and find something else.  We knew ultimately that we would just be hot all day and it didn’t matter if we were wearing jeans or leggings.

It was a wonderful but long day seeing the temples.  I was soaking up the sunshine that I hadn’t seen for about two weeks since it was overcast in Hanoi & in Hong Kong. The sunshine was amazing but it definitely was an adjustment for the 90 degree weather.  Our schedule for the day was to see- Angkor Bayon Temple,  Angkor Thom, & Angkor Wat before sunset.  Jennifer was hoping to get a great sunset picture while we were at Phnom Bakheng but the clouds rolled in as we sat and waited.  However, this was an incredible sight to visit and see.  It was built around 889-910 and Angkor Wat was build around 1150.
