Groan! I know....but couldn't resist.

We spent 6 nights in Angkor wat/Siem Reap (one extra sick day 😞). 3 days spent at the temples. They are quite incredible. What they were able to construct in the 8th-maybe 11th century is amazing. The sheer scale of it all and the fact that it is all still here (mostly). Although it should be noted that in the mid-early 1900s there was a huge restoration project let by the French to put many of the temples back together. Some, such as Ta Phrom, were left almost as they were found - with the jungle taking over! Ta Phrom is also the temple from Tomb Raider and Temple of doom.
