Day 196  Feb 16 2015 Siem Reap Cambodia


We hired the same tuk tuk and the same guide as we had yesterday and spent the day exploring more temples.  The first we went to was Angkor Wat which is the most famous temple of the 300 temples in the area and is also a UNESCO world heritage site.  The next stop of the day was the Banteay Srey or the Pink Lady.  It is called the Pink Lady as it is the most decorated and the stone has a pink hue to it.  It was in miniature size compared to the other constructions in the area but very beautiful.  The last temple of the day was Pre Rup which was build around 961.  This was the biggest temple that the kids were allowed to climb.  At Angkor Wat and others anyone under 12 was not allowed up the temples for safety reason.  We were there in the late afternoon and the view from the top was nice.
