Day 1 and we arrived early but had no temple viewing till later in the day. Toby and I made use if the 3 pools with multiple swims in each, it was like hanging out with goldilocks trying to find the perfect pool. After a dip, we headed into town and Pub street for lunch. The food is AMAZING. And of course it's fun to ride in a tuk tuk.
Later in we headed out to our first temple, Banteay Srei, described by our guide as "pretty average, I've seen better". We, on the other hand had not. It was mind blowing. You could climb over everything and Toby loved it. temple is from late 12th century, originally Buddhist but later Hindu and so most of the Buddhas had been scrubbed out.
It was a magical place and not too busy in the late afternoon. A great introduction to a temple before our sunset boat ride.
