What's Wat?

Cambodia is most often visited to see Angkor Wat, the largest Hindu temple and the largest religious complex in the world. It was built around 1125 AD and is now a Unesco Heritage site. Several other countries, including the US, have given money to help pay for the restoration of the complex. We visited three temples yesterday and went again this morning to see Angkor Wat at dawn. We are pretty much "templed out" for this trip but are glad we got to see some of the most famous ones. The picture taken with the tree trunk In the background is the jungle temple where Laura Croft: Tomb Raiders was filmed. Everyone here has mistaken me for Angelina Jolie.
