Also they had a tough time understanding how/why we were leaving the same day so be prepared to say the same explanations repeatedly in a polite manner
We managed to see quite a lot in the 10 hours we had but it's best to stay for a night or 2 as the hotels give you massive duplex rooms for a relatively paltry sum as opposed to elsewhere in the world.
