Same same, but different
... est en fait parfaitement orchestré, pour que les arbres ne détruisent pas ce qu'il reste du temple.
Le dernier temple que je mentionnerai est Bantey Srei. Bien que beaucoup plus petit en taille, c'est un des temples les plus anciens ( datant de 967). Il contient surtout des gravures particulièrement bien conservées de la mythologie hindoue, puisque ce temple est dédiée à Shiva. En fait, il fut l'un des premiers temples a être restauré, en l'occurrence par ...
Weekly wrap up (already?!?)

Geschockt von diesem Erlebnis des Massentourismus, das so gar nicht unserer bisherigen Reise entspricht, beschlossen wir tags darauf mit den Rädern durch das Tempelareal zu fahren, in der Hoffnung einige verlassene Runinen auf eigene Faust zu entdecken.
