Angkor Wat Temple.....this is the BIG one

Ok this is the big one. Welcome to heaven on earth on a scale that boggles the mind. Welcome to the largest religious monument ever built. Welcome to Ankgor Wat. It is said that a person will never forget those first few minutes in their life when for the first time that they see this Temple. Walking into that main gate for the first time and taking in the sheer scale of this temple is something I know that will stay with me forever. It makes European Cathedrals like St Pauls look like a local village church in comparison. The size and majesty of this place is really indescribable and can only be truly appreciated when visited. Photos dont do it any justice at all. I don't care what any hardened traveller has seen anywhere else in the world, this place stops everyone in their tracks on arrival. I cannot even fathom what the French explorers in the 1860's must have thought when they saw this temple for the first time. I took over 500 photos here and the Bas reliefs alone on the eastern wall are over 1 Km long and would take a whole day alone just to take them in.
.To finish our visit we climbed up to the top level and enjoyed the astonishing views over the jungle dotted with the many surrounding temples in the fading sunlight . Like I said , Heaven on Earth.
