Got to see lots of temples. Lots of driving around but worth it. William was a good guide. Learned a lot. Long day. Take an umbrella to keep out of the sun or rain.
It sounds like you had a productive and insightful day, even with all the driving! William must have been a great guide to keep things interesting. Smart tip about the umbrella—definitely helps with both the sun and rain in those long days of exploring. Glad to hear it was worth it!
