• Two days of temples

    Nov 26–27, 2024 in Cambodia ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    The last 2 days have been temple days. We took our own tuk tuk to the temples. We visited Angkor Wat on one of the days. It is the world's largest temple. It must be extremely old because lots of temples are usually very old and crumbly. It was a hot day but I looked around for a few hours. The carvings on the walls were pretty and there are so many that I thought they must be done by a machine- but no! All done by hand!
    I reckon it would take hundreds of years to build it. It must have been for someone very important
    The next day we went to some more temples. One was in the jungle and the trees were eating it. I thought it was the best temple because of this. We walked around this temple in the shade and I couldn't believe they could put it back together like a big puzzle.
    I didn't see any animals but I bet there are lizards and birds that live here.
    Bayon Temple was the next stop and it had lots of faces on it. We got a bit lost walking inside this one. And when we got back to the tuk tuk there was trouble. Monkeys!!! They went inside our tuk tuk, opened our bottles of water and drank them! I didn't like the look of these monkeys and we got out of there very fast. They are little cheeky pests these monkeys.
    We have spent the afternoons in the pool at the hotel which I have loved. It's been relaxing and fun in the pool.
    At night time we have been going to Pub Street for dinner and massages. I could get used to a massage every night!
