We left the hotel at 4:50 this morning to see the sunrise at the most famous of the temples Angkor Wat. Our tour Guide, Kanha, took us around to the eastern gate, much more secluded than the western entrance. We walked by moonlight through the trees to the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the majestic Angkor (meaning city) Wat (meaning pagoda in Thai).
From there we continued on to the temple and explored the intricately carved reliefs on the temple walls. The reliefs were of battles and there were so many details. They were so detailed that the soldiers had different designs on each shirt.
Then we hiked up to the top and got a 360 view of the Angkor Wat complex.
Back to the hotel to rest and eat breakfast and off to the floating villages in the afternoon.
