Two special apsaras can be found in Angkor Wat, and they can be found in the central tower complex, facing the three towers. Although hundreds of apsaras grace these same walls, these two are unique.
And the reason they're special? They actually show teeth in their smile.
The dizzying height of the steps leading to the three towers. Two of the three towers were under reconstruction/restoration during our visit and thus, were off-limits to tourists.
Unfortunately, Nins has acrophobia and prevailed upon Charlie's interest to climb up and go inside the celebrated tower. The sight of tourists cautiously going up and down the steep and eroded steps (from centuries of wear) did little to persuade Nins to make the most out of this trip.
Oh look, an upskirt shot!
Oh look, an upskirt shot!
Rails were placed on one the side of the steps so tourists could hold on for dear life while descending or ascending the steps.
Up next: pictures from the last leg of the Angkor Wat tour. We then head off to our next temple, Bayon.
