Getting back to the correct street corner was just about as easy as getting to the temple itself. We met up with the group and our guide gave our bus driver a call on her mobile.... No answer. The last of our group trickled in, and still no bus. She kept calling and calling. She finally called the main office and they sent out some suits... who stood around and tried calling the bus driver on their mobiles.

Finally, after standing around on the street corner for an hour, our bus showed up. He'd unfortunately parked in a cell-phone dead-zone and hadn't realized it. We were really behind schedule now. Ya know what was more annoying than having to stand around waiting for an hour? Being apologized to a couple dozen times by both the bus driver and the guide. For the rest of the tour, she ended each sentance with "and I'm really very sorry you had to wait so long for the bus." :-)
