We woke up feeling a bit tiered but had to get up, find some where to get money and find a new place to stay. Whilst walking around we found a place to stay closer to the main beach, which is perfect as this is where we get the boat from! We found somewhere to get cash (I have really taken cash machines for granted!). We rented some bikes to go and get out stuff from Our old room and the spent the morning sorting our bags out as everything was everywhere afte...

Today we are doing our trip around the islands, so we got up sorted a few bits out and headed to the restraunt for our free breakfast, banana pancakes and iced coffee! after this we we've give our paddles and life jackets and pointed towards the beach.

First port of call was the small waterfall that l...

The next part of our journey was interesting - we grabbed some breakfast and went looking for a place to s...

Once checked out we went and found somewhere to get my cut, thankfully found somewhere as I was looking a bit like a mushroom head! Hair done, we went back as sat and played some cards a...

Today we have our trip booked for Kong Lor caves with Pat and Jen - these caves are a set of tunnels which go under a mountain for 7.5km. So we woke up grabbed our free breakfast and jumped in the mini van - the drive to the caves took 3 hours and was another twisty bumpy road with amazing views. A couple of hours in the driver stops at a view point which looked out over 'the limestone forest' which is just miles of limestone rock formations (sadly the pictures...
