Today I had to set the alarm as I wanted to visit Angkor Wat in time to see sunrise over the temple, so I set the alarm for 04:30 as I had booked a tuk-tuk driver to pick me up at 05:00 so that we had about 30 minutes to get over to the temple and get my camera set up for some great photos.It got to 05:10 and the tuk-tuk driver had not turned up! So I went back into the hotel and woke up the night porter and asked him if he could phone my tuk-tuk driver and ask ...

After too many late nights watching the World Cup football matches starting at 01:30 in the morning and then not finishing until around 04:00 and then ruining the next day just by sleeping in all morning and most of the afternoon. Last night I decided to have an early night so that I could hire a motorbike today and head out to try to see some of the local area. It was quite weird after Vietnam having to leave my passport as a deposit and also sign an insurance...
