Angkor Thom by Megan

Today we went to see some more temples in the Angkor Thom area. The first one was the biggest, and was called 'Bayon'. It was very impressive, and would be ideal for an epic game of 'Dobbie'.

Everywhere you looked, you saw huge faces made of rock.

When we were trying to take photographs, Japanese tourists were being very ignorant, and kept walking (dawdling) in front. One of them even hit my mum to get her to move out of the way for her photograph, even though we were trying to take one first!! After that, our tuk tuk driver took us to the next, smaller temple. Emma and I found lots of little frogs in the damp ground next to the temple walls. One of them hit my knee as it attempted to jump onto a rock.

The temple was very high; over three levels, and as we went to enter, a guard stopped us and said that you had to be over 12.

We started to walk round the side, and discovered some more steps at the back. Emma didn't want to break the rules, so she stayed at the bottom with my dad, and my mum and I climbed up. It was a very long way up, and the steps were extremely steep; we started to understand why it wasn't for under 12's.

we saw a couple more temples, but my favourite was the 'elephant terrace' with its 3d elephant trunks.

Once again we came home before lunchtime, and spent the rest of the day at the pool.
