Yes, Angkor Wat.

We went, and we loved it.

I've only seen the most famous part of Angkor Wat. But this time, we got to have our own tuk tuk driver take us around for 6.5 hours through the massive archeological park, which is essentially a massive city of ruins.

It's awe inspiring and feels sacred. It's amazing how you can literally walk through the ruins and touch thousand year old structures. You feel taken back in time.

Check out the photos!
