I met Kol Chhen in the lobby at 9 am to continue the temple tour.
Preah Khan was built in the 12th Century and was dedicated to the King's father. Preah Khan means "holy sword". 
Ta Som temple 
The tree growing out form the West gate is called "Sponk". It's the same tree that grows out of Ta Prom (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
East Mebon
We drove through the country side, stopped at the Banteay Sprey.
Saw how they made Sugar Palm
Some things made out of Palm tree wood
Banteay Sprey Butterfly Centre
Stick bug
I went back to the hotel for a break. Kol Chhen picked me up at 5 pm to go see the sunset at Pre Rub temple where I found myself sitting with about 400 of my closest friends watching the Cambodian sun go down.
I have been in awe of this beautiful country, it amazes me how much history and knowledge they have on their ancestors. Tomorrow I leave Siem Reap for Luang Prabang, Laos.
