Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat at sunrise
Following our brief stay in Phenom Penh our group hopped a plane for our one hour flight to Siem Reap to view the Angkor Wat temple complex.  Built in the 12th century to honor the Hindi god Vishnu; later it became a Buddhist temple. We got up at 5am one morning to see the temple at sunrise; unfortunately the clouds kept us from viewing it in all its glory.  Later in the day we returned to explore many of the temples in the area, including the one in which the trees seem to have taken over.

In the evening we went to a dinner/show.
