This set that I’ve been in since the petty cab ride, the driver had me walk back into the woods. After walking around some of the ruins I got turned around and forgot where I had come from and what I had seen. I was the only person there and there was no clear exit. Finally I saw another ruin through the trees and walked over to it. Then some other people came and I just went back they way they came and found my guide. It would be very easy to get lost here.

I mentioned earlier I passed this one a few times. This one is I the road that goes to the main temple where the lady was posing and I said someone told me it was the kings palace. The rest of paintings is behind it and it was this petty cab driver that told me that.

Amazing when you realize how long ago these were built.

At some point during the ride I knew I was going to give him $10 instead of the $5 he asked for. It turns out you don’t pay them direct you pay the cashier. So I gave him 5 and the cashier 5. And I got this receipt

At this point it’s after 1:30. I figure I missed the 1pm bus and I probably have an hour to kill. I’m thinking of getting beers in that restaurant but I want to confirm with the guy at the gate. He tells me it’s actually 3:30. But it’s second class so it could be later. 
 

I asked about a taxi. He said he could get me one for $30 it would be here in 5 mins. I said let’s do it. 
 

Did I think it was worth $50 to save 30 minutes earlier? No. Do I think it’s worth $30 now to save 2-3 hours? Yes!

1:38 I’m in the cab
