Technically, Angkor Wat is just one temple but the whole Angkor complex covers over 400 square km and has a ridiculous number of temples, so I decided to divide and conquer over 3 days. I didn't do see anywhere close to all of them, but I certainly saw enough!

Sunrise at Angkor Wat (the actual temple) is probably the most popular tourist path and I intended to do that on my first day, until I found a fabulous bar the night before with buy one, get one sangria. Needless to say, I did not make it up for sunrise. I did eventually pull myself out of bed and rented a bicycle to get out to the complex. People had warned me against biking, but I am stubborn and did it anyways. So hot!

My first stop was Bayon, which is one of the more popular temples, after Angkor Wat itself and the Tomb Raider temple. Of all the pictures I'd seen ahead of time, I thought it would be my favourite temple of the complex because of the giant faces (Buddha faces? Hindu god faces? I don't know.). The faces were really cool and the temple itself was massive. I've seen what feels like thousands of temples in the last two months, but the Angkor Wat temples are thousands of years old and made of rocks in a time period before machines or electricity, so the fact that they're still standing is really impressive!

Bayon was the only temple I made it to that day. My hangover was pretty bad and I needed some greasy food and a nap to function, so I biked back to town. Perfect timing too, because it started to downpour when I was a few blocks from my hotel.

The rest of the day was a bit lazy, but I managed to make it to a local yoga class where I was the only student. The teacher turned the class into an ab workout instead when I told him my core strength was lacking... It helped to sweat out some of the sangria though!i
