Woke to another magnificent sunrise and the day of the big Seven Oh!
We arranged for a driver to take us around the island with our final stop at a different hotel for this week, Garrya Tongsai Bay.
It was hot and humid 32° but with a "feels like temperature of 38°".
Thankfully, Dew's limo was cool - on many levels (didn't try the disco lights but tempted!)

It is fairly touristy for a Temple.
Next stop, The ( very)
Big Budda!
