Angkor Wat

The next morning we woke up early to head out back out to Angkor Wat. This time we wanted to catch sunrise over Angkor Wat. I guess you have to get out there early enough to get a good spot by the reflecting pond. I guess our location would have made a difference if there was actually a sunrise. Don't get me wrong the sun rose, but there was such a thick cloud cover that it just gradually got lighter and lighter. Once we'd seen enough of the sunrise we walked around Angkor Wat for a little while. Angkor Wat is the largest of the temples at the park and I think it's also the most restored temple. There are lots of really cool details on the temple. The temple area was so peaceful as the sun was rising. There was a light mist that hung over the jungle.
