Day 2...Smaller temples of Roluos and the Jungle Temple!

We decided the best way to tackle seeing the temples was to start small and work our way up to the bigger ones and then see the far away ones later. I reckon it was the best way as they kinda just got better and better!

So the first ones are the Roluos temples in order...Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei. Then went back in to the main temple complex and visited the smaller temples around Angkor Thom including the Jungle temple Ta Prohm, which has been over run by the jungle around it. Preah Ko was being renovated beautifully...













And then down the road was the large and beautiful ( one of our favourites)Bakong.



























Lo Lei was the less well preserved brother of Preah Ko, but was a stunning sight none the less !





















Ta Prohm Is one of our top temples the grounds around it were huge and the temples were literally being eaten up! Film directors have used the sight in loads of movies like tomb raider and you can see why !
