Our second day of temples was to include 4 more temples but John got his objections in early. When we arrived at Banteay Srei he refused to get out of the car. Banteay Srei is a lovely temple, different to the ones we had seen the day before because it is made from red stone and much smaller than some of the others. Some musicians who had been injured by land mines were playing traditional music and I was happy to donate as they distracted John long enough for us to admire the temple.

To appease John we cut out the next temple and went to a butterfly farm instead. Gorgeous and very relaxing.

Next temple on the tour was the hospital temple. It was probably the one I found most interesting. There were different areas that were used to treat different illnesses. John discovered the fascinating activity of drawing in the sand with a stick and temporarily withdrew his objections.

Our last temple Preah Khan is a large Buddhist temple. John acquired a red parasol from the guide to entertain himself. Katie provided the main entertainment though by fainting in the heat.
