Beng Mealae is another temple in the Angkor region....I know, there's probably been a lot of pictures of temples on the blog, but it kind of is what Asia is all about. People here are very religious and there are just thousands and thousands of amazing temples to visit. But this one is a little different... First of all, it's located 70 km from the main Angkor Wat temple and it took us 1,5 hour by tuk-tuk to go there. Secondly, it hasn't been renovated to the same extent the others have, which gives it a real Indiana Jones feel, being in the middle of the jungle, overgrown with trees and lianes. It's not an easy visit, we had to climb, jump, crawl and even swing to be able to see all the hidden places of this huge stone complex but this made it all the more interesting! Beng Mealae was definitely a highlight on our temple tour!
(Please don't forget to admire the fourth picture, it took Benoit hours and a lot of French swearing to finish this '3-D'-version of himself.)
