Ankor Wat

---

Ankor Wat is the reason most people travel to Cambodia. Tucked away in lush green forests that surround Siem Riep - the local town - are a maze of temples that date back to when Noah was a kid. These temples where built by a gent called Rhayavaraman 2nd, and all are dedicated to specific Hindu gods as well as later becoming Buddha shrines.

We started our temple excursion with a sunrise at the famous Ankor Wat, and the rest of the days were spent whizzing around on the most affordable transport available to tourists - electric bikes (tourists are not allowed to use Motor Bikes in Cambodia - they have a nasty habit of crashing).

We have tried to capture the temples as best we can....enjoy.
