LAST DAY IN ANGKOR / DERNIER JOUR A ANGKOR

Thursday was our last day in Angkor, so we had a "late morning", we just left the hotel at 8.30 am, and went to see 3 temples in the area of Roluos, 13 kms East of Siem Reap. Those temples are among the oldest of Angkor.

Jeudi etait notre dernier jour a Angkor, alors nous commencames "tard" le matin, nous quittames l'hotel a 8h30, et allames voir 3 temples dans la region de Roluos, 13 kms a l'Est de Siem Reap. Ces temples sont parmi les plus vieux de Angkor.

We saw Prea Ko, (9th century) Bakong and Lolei (also end of 9th century).

Nous vimes Prea Ko (9eme siecle) Bakong et Lolei (aussi fin du 9e siecle)

Bakong, also dedicated to Shiva is the biggest and the most spectacular of the 3 temples, it has an active monastery and is surrounded by a moat full of water.

Bakong, aussi dedie a Shiva, est le plus grand et le plus spectaculaire des trois temples. Il a un monastere encore actif et est entoure d'un fosse avec de l'eau. 

Last, Lolei, smaller with only 4 towers, but very beautiful too and surrounded by a modern small temple and a small monastery . /Enfin Lolei, plus petit avec ses 4 tours, mais tres joli aussi et entoure d'un petit temple moderne et d'un petit monastere. 

 

                               


Then I did some shopping, I found a lovely embroided tablecloth for Pessah. We had lunch, and went back to the hotel and to the airport. 

Puis je fis des courses, je trouvai une jolie nappe brodee pour Pessah. Nous dejeunames, rentrames a l'hotel et partimes pour l'aeroport.
