Temple Run


"08/05/2013"

Early start today...How often am I going to be saying this.

I was wondering if the bus would pick me up at all...but they turned up promptly in a lovely airconed mini van.

The tour guide was very talkative and friendly...and I could tell it would be a lively day.

The group was a nice mix, but mostly young travellers - couples.  One rather annoying Argentinian couple who insisted on taking about 100 photos at every posing opportunity.  Young love eh?

It was very very very hot.  By 10am I had definitely drank most of my first water bottle and I am sure that I'd burnt in some places.

The early part of the day really started to drag on...the guide was incredibly knowledgable, but didn't know when to stop talking.  Too detailed.  I was also getting slightly concerned that we wouldn't get round all the temples.

I'm not going to try and pronounce all the temples on all this broken keyboard...I may insert at a later date.
However Ankor wat was pretty incredible...as was the tomb raider temple.
My only disappointment was not getting Ankor wat at sunrise/sunset.  Our tours were timed later in the day.

Still a good day.

I wandered round the markets in the evening and bought a bag - bound to come in handy at some point, as I'd stupidly bought my handbag rather than a small rucksack.  Note to self for next time.

I then checked the sports news.

Sir Alex Ferguson to retire as Manchester United manager

I will leave this post on that bombshell.
I AM SHOCKED.
