We knew that our highlight will be Angkor Wat, however, what we didn't knew was how much effect it will leave on us. Every single traveller to Cambodia goes to Angkor Wat. Actually every traveller's reason to go to Cambodia is Angkor Wat. We decided to get 3 day tickets which we pay 40usd each. You can get anywhere inside the Angkor Wat national park with those tickets. We were also lucky to find a tuk-tuk in front of our hotel and we booked him for whole day for 12usd. First we went to Angkor Wat, no need to talk about this magnificent building. We are talking about a civilization which lived here in between 8-12th century. There used to live 1 million people at that time. You can understand how big this number is when you compare with the population of London at the very same time, just 50.000. We later went to Bayon. It only takes about 5 minutes via tuk tuk. Bare in mind that tuk tuk drivers are almsot as good as the english guides. So if you can get on good with the driver he will be able to provide you all the information about each Wat. We spend more than hour in the beautiful structure and then walk to the ones next to it which where the palace, elephants gate and lions gate. It was almost 4 when we were through all these place. For the sunset our tuk tuk driver took us to Phnom Bakeng where for the first time we saw many tourist just like us all waiting for the sun to set. I must say this was our worst experience at Angkor. We drove back o our hotel and rest for a while, later on we went into Siem Reap for a drink. Very nice place with plenty of options of bars and restaurants. Most famous one is Angkor What ? :)
Old times, Angkor in between 1918-1921
