Good morning Angkor Wat! *swoon*
This is when having a tall boyfriend comes in handy.
With my travel buddy, Chickee.
My alter-ego.
Chickee’s breakfast
Quench your thirst!
My breakfast.
At the entrance of the first temple.
Carvings on the wall
The holy pool- said to give immunity to anyone who bathes in it.
Debris.
Conquered the first challenge of the day: steep stairs that’s almost four floors high!
The climb.
Monkey see…
Monkey do.
The guardians.
Big feet no more.
*swoon*
The temple with many faces.
Pavement.
At Rainbow Bridge.
Bird’s eye view. Yes, fear conquered for the second time.
Chickee.
Lying Buddha.
Mickey mouse?
Three heffalumps.
Mode of transportation in Cambodia: Tuk-tuk.
At the “Tomb Raider Temple”.
“One day we’re gonna get so high…”

Our tour guide, Mr. Vann Seila. I highly recommend him!
Tips:
1) Ā The ticket costs $20 so prepare.
2) Bring sunblock since you’ll be walking under the scorching heat of the sun. If you have hats and umbrellas, bring them as well.
3) Sleeveless tops and skirts that are above the knee are not allowed in some temples. Bring a blazer.
4) Be at the temples at 5 in the morning just in time for the sunrise (see photo number one)
5) If anyone hands you an incense stick, ignore them. They charge $10. Yes I learned this the hard way.
6)Have fun!
the first photo is gorgeous!
Wow, thank you! š
These photos give me itchy feet! Great shots, Iya, as always! š
Thanks Karia! Let’s take our itchy feet out of this country one of these days! š

Thank you Ma! These photos are my way of saying thank you for giving me the chance to go out and see the world. š I love you. Angkor Wat is very beautiful. I cried when I saw the temples. Hehe. The first photo is my favorite. š Some parts are still under repair.
