I don't know about you, but I'm really feeling like Angelina Jolie right now
It's a lovely
4:26 in the morning, and yeah, we're on our way for the sunrise at the Angkor Wat
Hopefully it's worth it got like three hours of sleep
Well we are here at Angkor Wat
Pretty amazing we're here at sunrise. You can see how many people have gathered here
There's some hundreds of people didn't get the postcard colorful sunrise we were hoping for but
But now that it's sunrise we're gonna see if we can see the temple before it gets overrun
This is more like it
Trying to get to the middle pagoda, but then there's this line
That's the Center pagoda
Part of the fun of these temples is the people watching honestly
They're just hundreds of people here from dozens of different countries
Pretty cool
Never seen so many people wearing elephant pants all in one place
So we're headed out of Angkor Wat now still got plenty more temples to see. I think they might be even cooler
Our tuk tuk just took us to Angkor Tom now
It's a big temple complex, but this is the main attraction here called Bayon
Lots of rubble everywhere here, so not nearly as restored as Angkor Wat but that's what gives it character
That was a little scary. *haha* Maybe I should put the camera down
Time to go inside
Everywhere they're watching you
Every direction
The buses got here
This temple gets a little tight once the tour buses show up
This one here is about Baphuon temple
Think we can climb to the top
Guess they won't let us climb the original stairs
More like a temple for ants.
Just joking. The ceiling's a bit low
This temple is built more like a pyramid and obviously that's the top of it. It's pretty cool
Just past 9:00 a.m.
The Sun is beating down. The Sun combined with the super humidity here makes it a little tough to keep going
so here we're at the elephant terrace you can see why it's aptly named and
it's also got some pretty cool carvings going on here
of people and stuff
Maybe some animals. I'm not sure
Joe is snapchating
Naturally outside of a major tourist attraction there's gonna be food stalls that sell overpriced and usually not so great food
We fell right into their trap
Knowingly, but we were hungry.
We were hungry
Ruining my shot
There are too many good temples on this route. It's exhausting
this one's Ta Keo
Think we can climb to the top of this one too
Hopefully be a little quicker this time, but it looks like a lot of fun
Hello
Not bad
We're about to enter the temple of Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm?
This is where one of the scenes in Tomb Raider was filmed, and I'm really excited about this one
Faces and stuff
and since they've not done near as much restoration on this temple
they put braces up like this to keep the stones from falling on people
Now I don't know about you, but I'm really feeling like Angelina Jolie right now
How does the Tomb Raider theme song go?
*singing* Tomb Raider Tomb Raider Does the things that a Tomb Raider can
Pretty sure that's it
Starting to rain a bit but look at these enormous roots on this enormous tree
There are some places you can tuck away and get away from all the people
But eventually you just end up back in the crowd.
This is the very middle of the temple
