Day 2 of Siem Reap (24 Feb 2012) - Baphuon and Phimeanakas


Still on Day 2 of the Siem Reap exploration of the temple ruins. After Bayon, we moved across to visit Baphuon with another steep climb to the top. There was a structure which looked like a "sleeping Buddha" at the top.

We walked past trees so old they wrapped or were part of the ruins. The remains of the Royal Palace in Phimeanakas which was a laterite and sandstone pyramid temple where the king used to worship. The grounds were extensive and the ancient pools were huge.
