Day 2 - Wednesday and it's Angkor Wat and surrounds

Well, Wednesday, day 2 of our Cambodia tour, shaped up to be a big day with plenty on our agenda, culminating in a sunset view of Angkor Wat, the largest temple in the world. The intrepid tourists were ready to take on a big day.......

First port of call was a temple called Ta Prohm - built around 12th century.  The trees that weave their way in and around the ruins make this a mysterious site to see, and the most photographed of all the Angkor temples.....

Then off to Banteay Srei or "ladies temple". It dates back to late 10th century, and it's delicate and well preserved interacted carvings are spectacular to see.

Then we went to Angkor Thom, or "Great City"' that covers around 9 square kilometers. 

The centrepiece is Bayon, with its 216 stone faces facing all directions. This whole place is huge, and dates back to the 10th century.....

I have a nose for a good pic....

Then it was on to the big mother...Angkor Wat. The largest religious monument in the world, dating back to 12th century. Perfect balance and proportions make it a wonder to behold, and there were plenty of us there to behold it, let me tell ya!

Now it's off to the hotel for a beer and a rest.....tomorrow (Thursday) it's an early start to a floating village...
