October 24th: Siem Reap
More of Cindy and John's pictures. A day touring the wonders of the Angkor Complex. Angkor Wat is the best preserved and most famous temple, and we started
there. Then we visited Bayon in Angkor Thom with it's huge faces and Ta Prohm which has been left relatively unrestored.
