The 1st couple of photos are of a temple called Banteay Srei with very intricate stonework, which is said could only have been done by a woman.
Cambodia is also famous for being littered with landmines from the days of The Khmer Rouge. We saw clear evidence of this with the sign you see in the photo; read closely and you'll understand what we mean. We took the advice we were given not to stray far from the well trodden paths of tourists, as there was even now a high risk of stepping on a landmine.
Later we took a 1.5km walk up into the jungle of Siem Reap to trace a very special river and a place known as Kbal Spean. The river itself has sacred carvings in the riverbed and surrounding rocks. Carved hundreds of years ago by pesky monks and can still be seen to this day.
