Trip to Siem Reap (Cambodia) - Day 3

This was supposed to be the big day of our Siem Reap(Cambodia) trip as we were to visit some of its greatest temples named Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon , Phimeanakas , Baphuon , Terrace of the Elephants and Ta Phrom . 

After the customary breakfast at our hotel , NiTa's friend was already waiting for us at the hotel lobby. NiTa was appearing for his driving test today and therefore he had informed us yesterday itself that he couldn't make it today and would be sending his friend instead.

Our first stop was the great Angkor Wat temple.The temple is so magnificient that one couldn't stop thinking how did they built it 1000 years back !
