Kings Palace and Elephant Terrace

Our next stop was to the King's Palace and the Elephant Terrace. The King's Palace was one of the smaller temples, but it also means that it was a little less crowded. That could also be due to the fact that it was really hot and humid outside. Even though the temple was small it still had really steep stairs to the top. They even built a wooden staircase that was a little easier to climb, but they were still steep. I think that coming down might have been worse than going up. Even though the stairs were steep the view was always worth it. Over by the King's Palace was the King's Pools. They were originally built for the King's concubines to swim in. It might have been pretty, but I don't know if I would have gone shopping. We saw some people fishing in the pool. Actually over by the King's Pools our tour guide showed us a really cool plant. Our tour guide called it Shy Grass. When ever you touched the levels it wold fold back up (kind of like what happens when you touch sea anemones). From the King's Palace it was just a short walk over to the Elephant Terrace. The terrace has a hole bunch of elephants carve into the front. You can see how much they 'love' their elephants.
