Holding a flame at Preah Khan. (Special thanks to the police officer that offered to take this for us and then asked for money :) )
Sak resting in the tuk tuk while we are in the temple.
more temples!! We tossed around the idea of seeing some other sites but there were still so many more temples to see and we liked riding around the temple area by tuk tuk. In total we packed in 5 temples today(Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon, Pre Rup). We got the same tuk tuk driver from yesterday (pictured to the right) which was nice since he is a really nice guy and always seems to find us faster than we can find him when leaving the temples.
Making elephants at Angkor Artisans.
We spent ~6 hours exploring the temples and having fun taking a ton of photos. Once we were done at the temples we headed back into Siem Reap and visited an artist training and workshop center called Angkor Artisans. There is a much longer story to it but it basically serves as vocational training for rural young adults and maintains traditional Khmer art trades. We toured the facility and got to see many of their final products in their gift shop... Really amazing work.
Swimming pool at Sala Lodges
We finished off the day with one last swim at the hotel and then headed out to another great Khmer restaurant, Marum, which is a training restaurant for street kids. Everything was great here.
Tomorrow morning we leave for Singapore!
