The pagoda forest
After another exhausting walk, by now the heat was beginning to take its toll on everyone, we arrived at the pagoda forest.
No, it's not a forest with trees it's a collection of over 100 pagodas, each a tribute to a head monk at the temple and it goes back a long time. The tribute can have one, three, five, or the maximum seven layers the significance of which I don't remember.

This is one of the more recently constructed pagodas

From there we get a ride back on the back of a large electric wagon

to the front entrance courtyard where drinks and ice creams can be bought, and a visit to the all-important happy place.

Then it's back to the hotel.
