This morning we finally got to see one of the seven wonders of the world - Angkor Wat. It is an immense stone temple from the 10th century. It was rediscovered in the 1800’s. The site of Angkor Wat is enormous, about 1 square km. It takes a half a day to wander through it and see the main sites. Although it is a ruin there is plenty of details to give you the impression of what an incredible building it must have been – 1000 years ago.
Angkor Wat is one of about 10 major temples in the area. All the temples are in disrepair. In the afternoon we visited a temple that will not be reclaimed from the jungle and still has the trees growing through the roof. What a tribute to mother nature.
