Udong Mountain



Lunch time...



We took some of The Library children to Udong Mountain, which is a mountain in Kandal province. It was a moutain side which had a trail of temples and stupas on it leading to a big gold Buddha statue. Some of the temples were small shrines to specfic Gods, for example the Cow. We then had a lunch of chicken and rice in hammocks and then took the children to the palace. This was amazing. Several huge, gold buildings around a beautiful lake. The main palace (pictured below) had a huge marble Buddha at the end and was covered floor to ceiling in colourful paintings. There was also a huge stone reclining Buddha that reminded me of the Gold one in Bangkok.
