Until you see them in the flesh you can't begin to contemplate the scale on which they are built. 
Angkor Wat is absolutely huge, this photo is of the inner temple and every stone is hand carved with a frieze depicting some way of life in the 12th century.

Wandering through all the temples you wonder how you begin to the design. A maze of corridors, rooms and steps (For a nation not reknowned for long legs who designed these deep treads!!) We saw Takoe Bayung, The Terrace of Elephants, The Royal Palace and then waited amongst hundreds of other people for the sunset at the top of Phnom Baket after our tour of Angkor Wat.
Currently getting slowly sozzled as we make use of the free wi-fi at the Khmer Family resaurant with $0.50 beers...
