Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a series of very old temples surround by moats and walls.
The main temple which is called Angkor Wat is the largest temple. The entire complex of temples, lakes, and walls is 400 km2. Angkor Wat's main temple nearest the entrance is the biggest and the best restored.  Also sadly the busiest one.  We more or less escaped that by going early in the morning which involved me waking up early (weehoo). We looked at 3 other temples (I don't know their names) they were mostly the same as the Angkor Wat. 

Some of the highlights of the day were trying to find our "tuk tuk" every time after we looked at a temple (you have to drive in between temples), seeing wild monkeys running around a temple and driving by elephant taxis.
Monkeys!
