Angkor Wat

Nice hotel with a.c. and a pool to come back to after each temple outing, check. Two mountain bikes hired, check. New headtorches, check. Week passes purchased, check. Let's go.
With so many photos taken below is just some of my favourites.
 
Angkor Thom north gate
 

 Sunrise at Ankgor Thom south gate and moat
 A relief wall inside Angkor Wat
 Sunrise at the Bayon inside Angkor Thom
 Through doorway shot
 Sunset at East Mebon
 Elephant carving
 Relief on the leper wall
 Lou and an elephant at East Mebon
 The finest photographers assistant the Cambodian Riel can buy
 Baby macaque inside the walls of Angor Thom
 One of the trees reclaiming Ta Prohm back to the forest
 And again the forest pushes the temple aside
 The smell of incense was everywhere with offerings being made throughout the complex
So there it was probably my most anticipated bit of the trip, 3 days of early starts and late finishes and lots of photos for our trouble. It truly was an amazing place and worth cashing in every one of my temple visiting chips with Louise
