Day 68 The 2nd day of Angkor Temples

On the road to the temples at 6am today to get in what we could before it got too hot and it worked well. We completed today's tour also getting in Bayon a big one on tomorrow's schedule by 11am. Todays temples were a bit bigger and had some very steep climbs to the top, the view over the jungle is great though.

Because most early risers & all the tour buses visit Angkor Wat for sunrise we were alone walking through the first few and with not a soul about its a pretty erie feeling!

I had a coconut today brought it from the roadside they lopped of the top & gave a straw, I couldn't drink half the milk there was so much. A beer would have tasted better but ya gotta try these things every so often.
While I was taking a pic of a moat beside a temple something went through the tree above us and was gone by the time I looked up but left the tree top swaying. Forgot to mention yesterday we saw monkeys in roadside trees too.
A few areas had precarious stones held in place with wood, the stick above my head in the pic is a top example.
On the way home we got a glimpse of Angkor Wat, the biggie we will finish with tomorrow. We used the afternoon to relax in the a/c & have a siesta.
