Angkor Wat
The main destination of our visit to Cambodia was of course Angkor Wat. We rented a tuktuk for three days to visit all the interesting places
We were lucky in our choice of tuktuk. Our driver was nice and friendly. |
At the entrance of the temple complex, entry tickets can be bought |
When we arrived at a temple, we first marked it in our book, to avoid confusion. |
