Temples, temples and more temples

It's Wednesday, it's temple time, pile in the minibus and we're off. First stop is Angkor Thom, not to be confused with Angkor Wat (plenty of time for that when we visit it this afternoon). Angkor Wat is not a temple but a walled city. We stop at the iconic South gate, then the Bayon temple, the Baphuon temple and the Terrace of the Elephants, then back in the bus and on to Ta Prohm, or the Tomb Raider temple as it is more commonly known. Bunthoen's favourite tourist question - "How did they build the temple under the roots?"
The morning's temples all duly accounted for we head over towards Angkor Wat for some lunch, which includes a beef & ant appetiser. Suitably refreshed we walk over to the big one, Angkor Wat. This is huge, magnificent and heaving with people.
In the evening it's off by ourselves by tuk tuk to find something to eat downtown. We wander up and down the exotically named Pub Street before settling on the upstairs terrace of Triangle for dinner for 2 and a bottle of Italian wine.

  1. I see you sneakily trying to blend the left over ants into the plate decoration?!
