Photos of Angkor Wat

The Angkor monuments - of which Angkor Wat is one - are impossible to describe. A world wonder. For many it's hard to believe that this huge complex of tempels and palaces has been lying there in the forrest, rotting away, falling appart, being consumed by the jungle. One of the tempels, Phnom Chissor, has conciously been left to the jungle by the restaurators; so that the visiting tourists can still see what it looked like when stumbled accros by the French.

We cycled around on the Angkor complex on a three day pass which we used to the full. We hadn't seen everything in the end, but we were sattisfied. Strangly enough as the complex is ever surprising and ever intreguing. But after already quite a long trip over this planet we have seen quite a few old stond piled on top of eachother; when exactly I can't really recall, but it does get enough for a person to stay interested in every curiosity that is possibly available... After a hunderd kilometers cycling in three different loops over the complex we'd seen quite a bit of it. We'd been hassled by people trying to sell us T-shirts and other stuff and hassled them in return; this all in a very pleasant atmosphere of all smiles and happiness. On the complex the screw I had got in my suspension broke, but fortunately some man on the complex had a bunch of screws and guess what, one fit. After that I bought 10 more screws and bolts which eventually lasted longer than my trip.

I shot more pictures on the complex than I can possibly show here. What follows is a collection which I believe gives a good impression of the place. Though I will always say that Angkor can only be really known by a visit.
