Pre Rup

This was my favorite temple in Angkor - Pre Rup.  

I can't explain exactly why I liked it the best. We went there first the second morning out, so maybe I was just fresh and more interested at that time of day? 

It wasn't crowded at all, which was nice after the latter part of the first day - when every temple had tons of people visiting.  

We were able to climb up to the top and enjoy the really beautiful views all around.  I wish my camera did justice to how green and lush and beautiful the area was. 

Looking down the stairs from the top - very steep!  Some of them I had to use my hands to steady going up and the steps ranged from 6 inches high to a couple of feet high each. 

My company for the day!
