This did not of course stop us from awaking at 4 am again. Aod chose to play hooky and take us out to Ayuthaya, a town full of wats from hundreds of years ago. ... In Ayuthaya we ate lunch while waiting for Aod's friend Navairat who drove us around in her blessed A/C car to many of the various wats. ...

I came to Lopburi thinking it would be good to go and see some temple ruins, but I suspect I blew a temple ruin fuse at Angkor Wat and it hasn't been repaired yet.I came to Lopburi thinking it would be good to go and see some temple ruins, but I suspect I blew a temple ruin fuse at Angkor Wat and it hasn't been repaired yet....

My final stop was at Wat Ratchaburana which is about the only temple in Ayuthaya which is still mostly intact. ...
