Bayon - Late 12th Century
As we rode our bicycles through the humid forest north of Angkor Wat,
we eventually came to the moat and outer wall of the ancient fortified city
of Angkor Thom. The city has five gates with iconic faces of the Bodhisattva
carved in them, facing the cardinal directions. As we passed through the gates,
we rode on to sunset at the late 12th Century temple of Bayon.
