Banteay Srei - Citadel of the Women

Our final temple stop was at Bante Srei - The Citadel of the Women, a gorgeous smaller scale temple with the most ornate carving I have ever seen. It is all a lovely pink shade too being made of red sandstone. 

The temple was rediscovered  in 1914 and has the most intricate bas relief carvings covering every surface in eye boggling detail.

We then moved onto Tonle Sap lake, an incrediable floating community. The Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia and is an ecological hot spot

Here's one of the floating traders plying her wares.
