Angkor Wat

The building is all done and today was our day to check out the sites. It was damn hot but we hopped in a bus and headed to see one of the 7 wonders of the world, Angkor Wat.

Pretty impressive that it only took them 37 years to build.


One of the libraries.


The height and amount of materials they moved from the mountains 100km away was incredible.





You may have to read upside down, but it made us chuckle, a little bit of home.



Then off to a couple other impressive places around Angkor Wat


50 different columns with 4 faces on each.


This is the one Grant was waiting for, the temple from Tomb Raider.





Amazing carvings.


They call this the "Tomb Raider Tree". Laura Croft was here,


And here,


But not here.



Good trip, but very tired. Heading home tomorrow morning.
