The Rolous Group are the oldest surviving temples in the Siem Reap area. The group is made up of three temples - Preah Ko, Bakong, and Lolei. It was really interesting to see the different architectural styles of the temples and how the designs kept getting bigger and more ornate - eventually culminating in Angkor Wat.
I suspect that I am boring everyone with all these temple photos, after all there is nothing worse than being forced to view someone else's holiday photos (well, actually there probably are worse things - like being eaten by a shark or finding an unexpected durian filling in your otherwise delightful lunchtime pastry - but you can't think of these things when you are actually being forced to see boring holiday pics).
Anyway, if you are bored with the photos, too bad! Because I still haven't gotten around to downloading the Angkor Wat photos off Dan's camera. But I promise that they will be the last set of ancient temple photos I post on here. For a while, anyway.
