...more Temples; Bayon & Ta Prohm







March 21, 2007

Today Mr. Lev brought with him a ‘friend’, whom also happened to be our registered tour guide for the day. For $20 we figured we’d get a little more out of the temples as we walked and gazed at all the unknown.

Our 1st stop in the Ankor Thom region was the Bayon, famous for the different faces among the 54 towers. We later passed through the Terrace of Elephants followed by the Terrace of the Leper King. For lunch we headed back into town to the Khmer Kitchen… I guess you can’t beat a pitcher of Tiger for 3.50?

After lunch we scrolled through Ta Prohm aka ‘Lara Croft’s Temple’ ala Angelina & co. The growing roots through some of the walls and ceilings was visually swarming! Next, we quickly visited the Royale Palace before we headed back to our hotel. Thai Chivit was so good we made a 2nd visit!

Tonite we also said farewell to Linda, who heads off to the Thailand tomorrow morning. We wish her all the safety and luck in her travels and hope to share many exciting stories when we all return to Vancouver in about 3 weeks.
