Cambodia

A side trip to Cambodia gave us quite a surprise. With 65 new hotels being built all at the same time, a new airport and millions of tourists every year, this country of the famous Angkor Wat, a wonder of the world, is experiencing a toursim boom!
L - Angkor Wat, a wonder of the world, magnificent even from afar.
R - Staircase after staircase, the steep climb was a bit scary.
L - Elephant rides are a blast! Such gentle giants these long nosed mammals.
R - A wall made of carved stone to great detail.
L - Giant buddhas line the entrance as if guarding the temple from evil.
R - Reminds us of the ruins of Rome - a very exotic location.
L - A smaller temple that is left in its natural decaying condition.
R - Here, trees as big as buildings are slowly eating up the entire structure.
