Hi all So here we all were sitting in Jehrte for the six hours or so we had to kill before our bus left for Singapore. Cool. We left our bags with the ever helpful ticket office and headed off for some food, Internet and whatever else we could find. First priority was food.

So, 4.30 am saw us getting up and heading off to see the sun rise above it for what we were promised would be one of the most unforgettable scenes of our lives.
