Angkor Wat! To say that it was one of our most anticipated part of the trip would be an understatement. I was holding back the excitement since landing in Laos and being here finally is indeed a dream come true. Angkor Wat and the whole Angkor Complex is Shockingly Amazing! It is glorious. You feel dwarfed being in front of such a great work of genius but at the same time overjoyed as a witness to its grandeur and enduring magnificence. After all this is the Eighth man-made Wonder of the World.
At the height of Angkor Kingdom, the population was thought to have peaked at around 1 million. Angkor,until today,is still the largest religious building. It wasn't the first constructed but it is the mother of all temples in the Angkor Complex where thousands of temples are to be found.
The long, tiring day templed us out, but exhaustion was matched by a lingering sense of wonder at the magnificence we witnessed throughout.
