Temples

Took in a few of the Buddhist Temples dotted around the city. It was a long hot climb up to the top of the Golden Mount, but worth it for the views over the city. The Chedi at the top contains some of the Buddha's teeth apparently. Lots of activity with people giving offerings of fruit and flowers to the statues. Moved on to the Wat Pho which contains an enormous reclining Buddha stretched out in a magnificent temple. Was sitting in the temple next door when parts of the floor started to be cordoned off. At first I thought it was because of some deeply significant religious ritual that was due to take place, but no, the monk just wanted to get the hoover out. Hoping to escape from the heat of the city tomorrow.
