... the large felines. We drove around for another hour or so, stopping here and there for a quick walk or to view the sunrise, even coming across quite the most brave or stupid cyclists I have ever seen (all armed with sticks, or lionproofed with sticks) ...

... guide who was fasting for ramadan and nearly passing out due to dehydration - they cant eat, drink or smoke between sunrise and sunset, bugger that! We got dragged around various tourist shops and looked at handmade carpet, perfume and paintings - ...

... fine if I could just keep food down! Catch 22. Saturday began early as Kirsty, Alastair and I decided to get up to see the sunrise. It was worth it! Watching it begin as a haze over the lake. The sun moves so quickly, the whole process from dark to ...

... to bang on my door at 6 am and wake me up so I could join them.  After explaining that it seems a “sunrise” in Vietnam was nothing more than a “gradual lightening of the sky”, I threatened to throw her overboard if she woke ...

... him muttering about the bad feeling. PJ wrote: When the sun returns Darjeeling is filled with our rising at dawn for the sunrise. What a glorious thing to walk to the viewing point before the sun, with the early morning people getting fit and doing their ...

... all - too sludgy. So now here is the best part.  We went to the beach early in the morning hoping to see the sunrise (the stupid hotel people were supposed to call us at 5am and called at 6am and said "sorry" - whateva - thank god we did not have ...

... Island" which we'd never heard of. (Surprisingly we'd also never heard of the "celebrities" on it either) Our fears of another "Sunrise" were allayed as this cabin even had air-con! Is there anything more tragic than having to sit nearer to your toilet ...

... and it was pitch black which felt a little eerie knowing that the moai were watching us. Although a little cloudy the sunrise was still impressive as we ate our breakfast of dulce leche on bread while watching the sky change colour behind the 15 ...

... while floating on the Nile and learning the ins and outs of ballooning.  As we were having this small breakfast, it approached sunrise and we could see several other balloons in the air across the Nile from us.  It was a gorgeous morning ...

... 'd had a lot longer to enjoy them but as the others had arrived a good 20 minutes before us (and actually witnessing the sunrise we long missed) they'd been there long enough to almost immediately start back down again. I was rather peeved but not nearly ...

... time i had gone back to the hotel, dropped all my things, then queued again, i would have missed the sunrise altogether. i stormed back to the hotel, hoping that the manager had a spare key i could use. briggs was inside the complex, after having to ...

... up at 445 this morning and downstairs packed by 515 for our balloon ride. It turned out that if you want to be up for the sunrise, you need to request the first trip with the 345 pick up. So we weren't to see the sunrise from the air but we did ...

... ;) Later we went to the restaurant and enjoyed a totally delicious meal, with vegatarian spring rolls, chicken, capirinias and naan bread. We had an 5:30 wakeup for the next morning to see the beautiful Taj Mahal at sunrise. Worth getting up early for! ...

... 23 February - started today at 04:30 for the sunrise over Uluru - slight headache - can't think why..... Only 1% experience the sunrise in the rain - and we were nearly in that catagory. Although the rain had mostly cleared before sun up the cloud hadn't ...

... Just beside the hotel "Duikar" the ultimate viewpoint (2900 m) which is a 5 minute climb up behind Eagle's Nest Hotel. Here you have the best views during sunrise and sunset, if you have the chance come to Eagle's Nest Hotel at full-moon there is a large ...

... I was on such good behavior this trip! Another "change" Gary and I are being moved from the Hatchuary Towers, a hotel that I upgraded to, due to the guaranteed queen size bed, to the Hanapaque Inn. My "no-thank you" didn't faze them. We've got a ...

... doing some sort of ritualistic slow motion dance. I'm sure there's a name for it but don't know it. I plead ignorance. Anyway, sunrise was beautiful. After breakfast, I rested for a little while (felt feverish) and then decided to go for a walk and see ...

... their prayers. It was more of what we expected to see the first time. The sky was cloudy so unfortunetely we didnt see the sunrise. We got a boat into the middle again, i looked at Chris and he was pointing at something in the water. I turned to ...

... -forth of discussionos took about 30 min. All we had in mind pointing out a grammar mistake. We stayed in a hotel at the summit and didn't get up for the sunrise (a least didn't get up). I can't bear being out there at 5am in the morning with hordes ...
