day two was no less impressive. we started out the day at the angkor wat temple, the most famous of the temples. wall after wall of amazing stone carvings from 1000 years ago, even eijla was impressed.
though zoe found her puppy a bit more interesting, she did enjoy the temples, though commenting that they weren´t that pretty because they were only one color!
brita and cege were often found cruising their book for information. it just makes more sense to read about it while you are actually there. i have to agree with them.
zoe insisted puppy get a foto in the famous angkor wat as well.
thomas, zoe, and eijla taking a break in one of the windows looking out into the center courtyard and main temple of angkor wat.
i have no idea why these people where at the temple, or what they were doing in traditional dress, maybe we missed a show, or perhaps they pop up everyday to earn some money taking fotos with the tourists, but zoe wanted a pic with them. so i threw in my dollar as well.
eijla was a little more shy of them. perhaps the masks, but from a distance she thought they were very interesting.
while taking this picture, a couple came up to us and told us that we had gorgeous children, i have agree.
when it was time to climb up in the center temple of angkor wat. they told us that children under 12 were not allowed, so i snapped a shot of my little drama queen as i left her behind and climbed the stairs.
i thought the signs showing the possibility of the visit were too funny. i am glad there was a possibility of a visit!
little hold the camera and take a shot of my self in front of the center temple tower.
brita and zoe cruising the gallery of 1000 buddhas on our way out. that horrible pol pot removed most of their heads.
last chance for another group shot before leaving angkor wat and heading to more temples.
catching up on reading about bayon, the temple with all the crazy heads, before heading in...
us with some of the crazy heads. the carvings on this temple were incredible. definitely one of my favorites of the trip.
people are crazy about taking pics of the girls, this monk wanted a pic with them, but they would not cooperate unless pappa was with.
if a banana looks too perfect to be true, than most likely it is, eller hur?
the girls dancing amongst the faces of bayon.
and it is off to another temple, eijla taking the lead. this time to bapuon. the kmer rouge destroyed all paper concerning the restoration of this temple so it ended up being the world´s largest jigsaw puzzle. much the temple was actually closed as they are still working on the restoration.
the battles between the crazy bayon trees and these stone buildings have left some incredible shaped tree trunks.
we managed to get quite a few more temples in today. we headed out to east mebon for a bit.
and then it was onto pre rup for the sunset.
zoe and some local girls entertained themselves blowing bubbles while waiting.
and it was worth the wait. a lovely sunset in amazing surroundings. not a bad way to end the day!
