Angkor Wat

Some of you will know that the reason Diane wanted to come to Angkor Wat was that when she was working for the Managing Director of Guinness, Robert MacNeale, in 1969 he came back from a trip to the Far East raving about this fantastic place deep in the Cambodian jungle and said he was concerned it might get destroyed in the years ahead because of the troubles brewing in that part of the world. He was absolutely bowled over by the place and showed fantastic photos.... it is now a World Heritage site and we are privileged that it is still there and we have seen it too! Not a lot more to say really, just take a look at the photos.... amazing!

Our first view...

Some of the bas relief work on the outside of the temple

Doug at the bottom of one of the conical towers... he thought about going up, but changed his mind when he thought about the journey down... very, very steep!

A close up of some of the magnificent carving... and how it looks in situ

A last look after a long and tiring day at the Angkor Site.
