Following a quick lunch featuring some of the best shakes we've ever had (Barb and Holly had cashew, Neil had lime and I had coconut), we were off again to see more awesome temples. Next on the agenda was
Ta Prohm, also known as the
Tomb Raider Temple. The temple is overgrown by huge silk-cotton and strangler fig trees, and it was used as a set in the Angelina Jolie movie
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
After seeing "the big three" (Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm), we took in some smaller temples, which were nice to visit but not nearly as exciting. Tevi took us to
Lolei and
Bakong in the
Roluos Group. We completed the day with a cow cart ride around the perimeter of Roluos, which is about as interesting as it sounds. It was nice to see a bit of the surroundings and the people's homes who live nearby, but the cart wasn't exactly comfortable. At least now we can say we've ridden on a Cambodia cow cart.

| This is definitely a stegosaurus. Or maybe a cow with a tree. |

Tevi was really excited about getting this shot.
The tree's supposed to look like someone's tushy. |

Bakong has six buildings. The front row is for the king, his father and grandfather.
The second row is for his wife, mother and grandmother. |
