Angkor Wat

Our first sightseeing trip in Cambodia was to the Angkor temples just outside the town of Siem Reap. The most famous temple is Angkor Wat, most people may recognize the name of this World Heritage Site, but there are dozens of other temples scattered throughout the surrounding countryside. We hired a tuk-tuk driver for the day, and spent about seven hours touring the main sites. Here are some of the photos we took that day, and trust me, the pictures dont even come close to doing this place justice. The Angkor temples are breathtaking buildings, and even more impressive since they were built around the year 900AD.
Many of the temple stairs were so steep you had to climb them like a ladder, not so bad until you are 200 feet up. Kids selling stuff were everywhere, but this guy was shocked when Erika gave him her Raybans. And they looked sweet on him too.

Back at the hotel, we ordered Fire Mountain for dinner. Self BBQ at the table... and Josh even tried the beef!
