One of the Seven Wonders of the World

The visit of Angkor Wat in Cambodia reminded of when we went to Machu Picchu in Peru. The two Wonders of the World are both lost cities of ancient civilizations that have lay forgotten beneath the jungle for centuries. Just as when going to the former capital of the Incas, I went up 4am to get to Angkor Wat before sunrise - hard to describe the view in words, so beautiful! :)
These incredible temple complexes are the biggest religious buildings in the world and represent one of the world’s most remarkable achievements. Was really impressive to see the huge temples, spectacular monuments, beautiful sculptures and places where movies as Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones have been shot.
Since the capital of the Khemer Empire is bigger than Stockholm in size, I had a cool motorbike guide that drove me around the whole day and gave me both interesting and scary facts in his best attempt of English. If you get the opportunity, I really recommend you to visit this Wold Heritage Site! ;)
