20 November 2009 - A lake (as opposed to a river), a temple and a baby boy























































Sethy took me out to Tonle Bati and Ta Prohm. 35km south of Phnom Penh they make for a scenic getaway and give you a taste of what Angkor Wat might be like in the flesh - the temple was built in the 12th century in the style of Angkor Wat. It is much smaller. It would be so much easier to cycle round.
The temple’s main focus was and still is fertility, and a statue of the Hindu fertility goddess Preah Noreay is still adorned with flowers presented by women hoping to become mothers.
As a relevant tangent, congratulations to one of our tuk-tuk drivers and his wife, who have just had their second child, a little boy.

This entry is all about the picture telling the proverbial 1000 words, either that or I'm feeling a bit lazy.
