With a full moon to our left, the moat is to our right, and we can't see anything beyond it in the darkness. We are ready for any surprises. That would be an oxymoron, wouldn't it?
The car leaves us at the head of a bridge, which turns out to be a long causeway leading to the main (western) gate of the great temple. The moat is the largest I have ever seen, larger than the ones I've seen in Europe, Japan and China, no contest at all.
