Cambodia Pictures: Angkor Wat

These are some of the little girls who were so insistent on selling their postcards and bracelets.

Angkor Wat. It is 10 times the size of the main temple at Angkor Thom. That's really big!

The outer edge of Angkor Wat is passageways like this. They're double layered, meaning that if you walked through the column to your left (shuffled sideways to your left), you'd be staring down another passageway just like this one. The only difference is that rather than having columns lining the left, the wall of the temple covered with carvings runs the length of the passageway.

These are the massive and trecherous stairs that we climbed to get to the center tower of the temple. If it looks like a vertical wall, that's because it nearly is; the angle is 70 degrees!

The climb was worth it to be able to see all over the temple and back across the water from the top.

This is just for a sense of scale: we're as high as we can go in the top of the tallest part of the center tower. This is a BIG temple!
