Legend of the Hidden Temple


Hanging out in the many amazing temples on the Angkor Wat trail in Siem Reap was like the adult version of the Nickelodeon game show Legend of the Hidden Temple. Except for the temples were real and the challenge of finding your way through the maze of tunnels did not end with you winning a Sega Genisis or a new bike but instead your prize was a flock of Cambodian children hassling you to buy wood flutes and postcards.
But seriously, all jokes aside Angkor Wat is breathtaking. These temples are beyond words and visiting these architectural marvels is an amazing adventure that cannot compare to anything else.
We set out by bicycle at 4:30 am to catch the Sunrise at Angor Wat the biggest and most astounding temple. Then from there we visited Angor Thom, Bayon, Preah Khan, Ta Som and Ta Preah. It was crazy beautiful. We spent 12 hours at the temples and that was not even enough. I am hooked.
