Well today didn't go to plan. I woke up at 0330 to a thunder storm and that was me wide awake. I wasn't sure if I would still be collected for the Angkor Wat sunrise given it was chucking it down. When the driver didn't show I went back to bed. He came to get me at 9 instead and I spent a good 5 hours going from temple to temple. They are super impressive, but after a while it was all a bit same same. I'm such a temple racist. I think maybe it might be better with a guide to appreciate the history. I thought my tuk tuk driver would explain some of the key points but he didn't, and his English was quite poor. Fingers crossed I will be trying for the sunrise tomorrow ๐ค๐ผ
I got back to the hotel and cooled off in the pool before going to Haven for dinner. It's a training school and it was delicious. I had lok lak again, plus two glasses of wine, and it was so cheap!
Then I met a Tinder date. His name was Martin and he was from Pennsylvania so he sounded all cute and Southern. He's here for 3 weeks volunteering as an anaesthetist in a children's hospital. Break my heart why don't you! We had 4 or 5 beers before calling it a night - he had to get up at 6 for to save lives and i have to get up at 5 for temples! But we're seeing each other again tomorrow night for dinner ๐. Don't worry. He didn't vote for Trump.
I'll upload the photos when my iPad has synced. Taking ages tonight for some reason,
