ANGKOR Wat….Is magical. It is completely different from the ruins and places of worship in Peru, yet gives one that same feeling of wonder. Strolling through the lovely trees down the path toward the front of ta Prohm, one is completely content, at peace, in what could be any century. The temples, the vastness and perfection of even the ruins, is overwhelming. It is incredible that Angkor Wat was built in a mere, but the spiritually significant number, of 37 years.
In town, Siem Reap, there is a plethora of wonderful places to stay, both small and charming within walking distance to the tourist part of town and $3 espresso martinis and $6/hr foot massages, and large, lovely tourist hotels with wonderful amenities!!! Angkor Wat is done by many tourists in a day….but not really. Take 3 and a tuk tuk. You won’t be sorry!
