Yesterday we visited the holy temple of Angkor Wat; the biggest temple in Cambodia.
All in all, the area of Angkor is about 400 square km.
Angkor was built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, and it took no more than 37 years to build this archeological monument.
It consists of lava stone, sand stone and wood, that were transported by elephants and by boat.
We were simply stunned by all the details and handmade masterpieces of the site.
If you are near Cambodia, you should take the time to go and see this historical wonder.
We also went to see the temple of Ta Prohm, where they filmed the movie Tomb Raider.
After the visit we jumped on a nightbus (around 20.30 p.m) to Sihanoukville. We arrived this morning at 07.00 a.m. It was a very bumpy ride, but we did get a few hours sleep.
It’s raining at the moment so we are chilling under a roof near the pool, reading some books and blogging. Tomorrow we are taking a boat to an island (don’t remember the name). We’ll let you know more about that later!
Take care guys! 🙂
Inside the nightbus. Nice & cozy 😀
