• A hairy hike to the temples

    November 25, 2024 in Cambodia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    We had breakfast at our hotel and I wore my new pyjamas down. We did a lot of school work this morning and daddy went to collect our new Tuk Tuk. I got to name him Marshmello- because he is white and shaped like a Marshmallow.
    The plan was to start seeing the temples and ancient ruins, maybe some as old as Grinch. The drive was a bit painful... The doors were rattling and the road was bumpy. Our first temple was called Banteay Srey. I thought it was pretty and it was very old. It was a bit crumbly because it's so old. We were lucky to walk around it It was a browny/red colour with lots of carvings.
    The next temple was a bit of a shock 😲. We had to walk through the jungle for 2 km and I was not expecting that. I had a few sit down protests along the way. It was called Kbal Spean the 1000 Lingas. It wasn't really a temple but carvings in the river. How did they do that I wonder?
    I did like seeing the carvings but the walk was a bit of a challenge. I have a bit of a sore hip so it was a bit hard.
    Today was pretty good. It would have been funner if we went horseback riding.
    I did get a lovely massage tonight and I fell asleep while they were doing it.
