Another temple which drew large crowds was the women’s temple. It was small but some of the carvings were interesting. The large crowds were unexplainable for such a “typical” temple.
Our tour guide came up with the “bright” idea that we should experience an ox cart ride. With temperatures of 100+, uncomfortable seating – it wasn’t such a great idea. I now know how the Mormons felt as they headed to Utah.
The subsequent boat ride on Cambodia’s largest reservoir was quite a relief from the steamy ox cart ride. We motored to the floating villages where the people are very dependent on fishing but they also raise pigs & chickens on floating pens. The village also had a floating school with a school boat to transport the village kids.
At the end of the day, we visited Siem Reap’s hectic but charming old town filled with lots of restaurants and markets.
Wow these pics are amazing!!
