Path to stairs down the hill

Actually, I was in the museum when a school tour arrived. They were VERY noisy and so I decided to visit the candi first before it got too hot to walk outside. Unfortunately the kids caught up after a couple of candi and ruined the peace anyway.

  Done visiting the candi, I returned to the museum to continue looking at the displays. Moral of the story, come early to avoid school tours and crowd. This is a place that you'd want to visit in peace.
