Using the same tuk tuk driver we headed off to one of the furthest temples, Banteay Srei, 37 kilometres north of Siem Reap. The journey took 75 mins. Passing through many small villages at a sedate pace we could watch the villagers going about their daily tasks as everything is done outside........cooking, washing, children playing, and working out in the rice fields. On the way back we stopped at a butterfly centre for about an hour.
Back at the main complex area we visited several more temples, each one unique in its size, colour of sandstone and carvings, as they were built over several hundred years by different kings.
