At 1:30 pm (sharp) we are picked up and driven to Angor Wat back entrance.
My first glimpse of what was Wat.
I went ape photographing the relief carvings . Our guide was oh so patient. I guess she goes through this with every set of tourists, though she was surprised we didn’t want ourselves in every picture.
Your very own Raggsy standing in the metaphysical (or maybe metaphorical) centre of the universe….
When I asked Mr Rags to stand there he said there could only be one ruler of the universe….

Guessing competition. What caused it.

One of the zillion carvings of apsaras.
Our guide was so knowledgeable and gave fantastic commentary but gee it was information overload for me. Mr Rags soaked it up and remembered it all.
