Letter 18

The third day of our trip was also tiring.

The first place we visited was Taprohm Temple.

The front of it looked just like the other temples so I didn't show you the picture of it.

The most famous thing in this temple is the trees that grows on the temple.

Local people call those trees "Kapok"

Most of the trees grew strong and tall on them.

Then the next one is Thommanom.

This is Ta Keo.

It is four floors high and there is only one way to climb up to the top.

The stairs are made of huge stones so visitors need to use their hand and feet together to climb.

The most scary part of it was getting down of the stairs.
People can easily fall down of the stairs.

The last place we visit before eating lunch was Sars Srang, where the royal family swam and played.

There used to be a temple in the middle of the pool but it was gone.

Nowadays, local children go swimming in this pool in summer.

It started to rain a little while we were lining up to climb up the temple.

Fortunately it didn't get bigger after we left.

Dinner was traditional Cambodian food.

The restaurant also served fresh watermelon juice.

At night, my parents, my sister and I went swimming in the hotel.

It was another exhausting and wonderful day in Cambodia.
