Monday Jan 25 in Angkor Wat

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Today we toured the ruins of the actual Angkor Wat, the largest of the many different temples. The next most well known is Angkor Tom, which was our second stop; followed by another 4 ruins. It is still difficult to describe the emotions that I felt walking through these grounds where once a civilization reigned, between the 7th and 14th century. which built the largest structures in the world.

Tomorrow we fly from here to Vientiane, Laos. We plan to stay there a couple days and then bus to Luang Prabang about which we  hear all very high praises from fellow travellers.
