We're not entirely sure why we came here other than to visit Wat Phou at Champasak, the pre-Angkor Wat Khmer "lost city", a suitably impressive site set at the foot of and up a hill - yet more stair climbing involved here but this time we were pleasantly engulfed in the sweet scent of frangipani. There was an "avenue of frangipani" all the way up the hill which made a very pretty sight.
Another one of these places that, due to location, you wonder how it was constructed. A mighty feat of engineering to put the carved rock in place.
