Day # 16- Angkor Wat

We woke up and headed out to the Angkor area. Our driver Sophoan picked us up at 9am. First we had to stop and buy a ticket. They are quite serious about their tickets. We had to take our picture and if we get it wet, tear it or loose it we have to pay another entrance fee. 

Our guide dropped us off and we had about 3 hrs to wonder. 

Here is the outside wall entrance. 

Looking through the walls entrance towards the center temple. 

Out lying buildings within the surrounding walls. 

Master architect skills to build arched ceilings. Just amazing for the 12th century. 

Look at the internal structure. Impressive and pretty. 

Center part of the temple. 

This reminded me of a mirror. It is a hallway that continues on and on. 

A battle elephant in one of the elaborate reliefs along the outer wall. 

A bullet hole from the Civil War in Cambodia. 

And inner, inner building. 

The outside of the central temple. 

Inside the inner temple, this was a pool.  

We finally got to the center of the temple and they wouldn't let me go up. Apparently it is too dangerous for a pregnant woman. So Bill went up and left me sitting in the shade. 

When he can down we walked out of the complex. We met our driver and headed to lunch.
