(For those of you who haven’t read the previous article, here is a link to Part 1.) After a long day of travel and taking photos, we had dinner at the resort’s restaurant, then headed back to the room and set our alarm for 05:00 the next morning. Our aim was to set out at 05:30 for sunrise photos at the same spot: Hole in the Wall.
