Photos from Angkor, Cambodia

Today was scorchingly hot. This morning we went out to Banteay Srei, followed by Ta Som, Pre Rup, East Mabon and Preah Khan. Going out to the more remote temples seemed to increase the desparation of the hawkers, some just young girls. As soon as our tuk tuk arrived at a temple, we were surrounded by desperate pleas to buy from them. I came away with a few more wooden bracelets and some place settings.

The temples were stunning. I also have a new favourite - Preah Khan. With similarities to Ta Prohm, but larger. Around every corner was another exquisite display of 12th century stone work, against a backdrop of forest green.

Tomorrow we will do the overland journey back to Thailand, so tonight we have been making the most of our hotel, sitting in the tranquil grounds, sipping fruit smoothies as the sun goes down. We will miss this place. I hope our hotel in Bali will be as nice.
