Chiso Mountain (Phnom Chiso)

Huot picked us up promptly at noon, our plan being to tour in the afternoon, eat dinner with him, and then be dropped off at the airport at 9:00 p.m. or later, given our red-eye flight.

We started with a 90-minute drive to Chiso Mountain, a 130-meter-high hill that houses an 11th century temple.

We parked at the bottom and took our time walking up the steps. The views were worth the effort.
