I wandered out of Angkor Wat at 3:30pm hot and sweaty and finished with the day’s activities. Rather than head back to town already, decided to go the Roluos group of temples, which is 30km away. These temples are called Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei. While I’m sure they are impressive, I was over temples for the day, so just took the obligatory photos, shuffled back to the tuktuk and went back to town. Dinner ended up being at the same $1.50/dish restaurant, where I discovered a great drink that consists of crushed ice, sweetened condensed milk and some kind of red syrup – just what you need after a long day, and a bargain at 50c a glass.

Setting sun caused some nice illumination
More guard elephants, one on each terrace
