Today we had a free day to do whatever we wanted so we decided to take a long boat trip over to Railai beach and spend most of the day there, we had lunch and have now come back to catch up on emails. Tonight we are meeting with the rest of the group to have pizza!

Hopefully we will be able to put some pictures on here soon.
