We thought we'd get some more planning done today seen as we're on a roll. It's a little difficult booking plane tickets when the wifi is on and off, everything seems to take forever. When we went out for breakfast we went to a place which had an upstairs and you could look out over the sea. While we were looking we were watching a couple of people who were swimming right out, they went so far, it was like they were hoping to get to the boats! We made some good p...

We had good intentions of getting up early this morning so that we could go to the beach early. This way it wouldn't be too hot and we could swim while the waves were not too big. This didn't happen though! I think all the extra travel yesterday must have tired us out. So we did not a lot today, had a walk around got back to our books. Then out for tea.

While we were there we saw a poster for a temple festival which is happening tomorrow, apparently there will be 50 elephants there. So we booked two...

We thought we'd spend the morning at the beach again today so we packed everything ready and went to the beach straight after getting done breakfast. We had to find some new sunglasses for me first though as unfortunately mine had broken. We bought sunglasses and a sheet we had been thinking of buying for some time as a reminder for when we're back at home. Instead of posting things home this time, we are hoping to sweet talk Glenn and Claire when we meet them to...
