Rose at 4.30am to go with thousands of others to watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat. For the rest of our time in Siem Reap we had strategically avoided the tour buses and crowds in an attempt to get some solitude at the temples. But watching sun rise is ‘the thing to do’ so we did it. Unfortunately – no sunrise. Heavy cloud cover meant the sky turned from a gloomy dark grey to an insipid lighter grey over the course of two hours. (boring!) Never to mind. Its another ‘tick’ on the list of things one should do on planet Earth.
