Sunrise over Angkor Wat temple. / Wschód słońca nad świątynią.

We have decided that our 3rd best liked temple is Angkor Wat itself. It's so big that you could spend hours studying the details carved on the walls.
Angkor Wat, 'the city pagoda', was not only a temple but a city as well. It's like a pyramid with three level and you can climb up to the to highest temple.
It is dated from early 12th century with later additions.

Face-towers of the Bayon temple

Bayon temple is a our No. 2 temple of Angkor Wat complex for its enigmatic face-towers. Today there are 37 of them standing (out of 49). Most are carved with 4 faces but sometimes there are only 3 or even just 2.

Nature overtaking archtecture in Ta Prohm. / Natura bierze górę nad  architekturą w świątyni Ta Prohm.

 Angkor Wat temple complex is the most incredible and remarkable place that we have seen so far. It is extremely hard to find words to describe it. Even if  we were poets we don't think we would be able to.
