This queen had her own temple, & was on the throne for 20 years after kicking her half-brother/husband out of the head honcho position. Not exactly sure how she managed that one, but she did. The temple was built into the side of a mountain & had three levels, only two of which we were able to view. As it was exposed to the elements, much of the colouring had disappeared over time.
It was stinking hot walking up the many steps to get there. But on the way up, I responded to some of the “hellos” from local schoolchildren. I then had a cute conversation with a group of about 8 kids & their teacher, trying to pronounce all their names & general chit chat. These are some of the golden moments - with local people - that I’d really missed out on in this tour. We’d been kept quite isolated from the locals & so hadn’t had much of a chance to share with them.
