Cambodia part 2 - and probably part last.

my earlier exhaustion gave way to illness and, while i previously planned to write a small novel for you all about Cambodia, you'll just have to make do with some pictures instead.

Angkor Wat:


The Bayon:




Ta Prohm:



Prasat Olok:


Banteay Srei:
They call this the Citadel of the Women, claiming the detail work on the buildings is so ornate and perfect it could only have been done by the hands of women.


Angkor Thom (the last capital of the Khmer Empire):


the north gate into Angkor Thom

The Phimeanakas, which, according to legend, is the temple where the king was to spend the first half of every night with a Naga girl (a race of supernatural human being, the original ancestors of the Cambodian people) to populate his city. He would return to his palace and his queen for the second half of the night. It was also believed that if the king failed to show up for the nightly ritual, calamity would strike his people.

Phnom Bakheng:

the temple on a hill

famous for views of Angkor Wat and sunset, which we didn't really get to see.

Miscellaneous Pics -
