2015 - MEKONG RIVER - Phnom Penh & it's Pagodas

STILL IN PHNOM PENH, TODAY WE SEE A LOT OF GOLDEN PAGODAS ..

FIRST THE RIDE THERE ..

NOT GOT OFF THE BIKE YET, THERE ARE GLIMPSES OF GOLD BETWEEN THE BALLOONS ..

OFF THE BIKE & A SHORT WALK TO THE COMPLEX ...

AND WE HAVE ARRIVED ..

EVERYONE HAS TO WAIT IN LINE ...

WE DID GET TO ENTER MANY OF THE BUILDINGS BUT NO PHOTOS ALLOWED INSIDE .. LOTS MORE GOLD & SILVER INSIDE ..

LOTS OF TOURISTS BUT IT IS SO BIG THAT THEY GET SPREAD OUT, UNTIL ITS TIME TO ENTER A BUILDING WHEN WE ALL GET SQUISHED TOGETHER AGAIN ..

IT'S A VERY PHOTOGENIC PLACE BUT SO BRIGHT IT IS DIFFICULT TO PHOTOGRAPH ..

PAGODA AFTER PAGODA ...

THERE WAS A MUSEUM VISIT AFTER THIS BUT I DUCKED OUT AND TOOK THE BIKE BACK TO THE BOAT

IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GO HERE WHEN IT IS NOT SO BRIGHT OR EARLIER IN THE DAY - & IT WAS HOT, HOT, HOT.
