The ancient capital of Ang- kor boasts not one, but over 200 temples strewn over a massive area. They are hulking stone reminders of the grand, largely wooden, city that once thrived here deep in the jungle. The next day it was time to continue on the Tomb Raider trail and follow in the footsteps of Lara Croft (played by Angelina Jolie) at nearby Ta Prohm, where scenes from the movie were shot. The ruins here looked like they were losing a spec- tacular battle with the jungle. In between the statues sprouted lush vegetation, tree trunks and gnarled roots. My third temple complex was Bayon.
