Today after a lazy morning we decided to get a taxi up to the public swimming pool that we'd given up looking for the day before. When we were driving in the taxi we were all so relieved we had given up the day before as it was about 4-5 miles up a huge windy hill! We paid 7500 (about a tenner) to get in and a local guy came over asking if we were eniglish - he went on to tell us to go get a refund as there was 1500 kids from the rough areas coming for a day trip and that they were wild (its their summer holidays).

We decided we would go in anyway and if it got silly we would leave, it was very busy but we found a little spot in the picnic area and spent all day chiling in and out the sun! The pool was cold but refreshing- I only braved it once but the boys went in a few times - the views were amazing from the pool. The kids weren't that bad just kids! It was like a much bigger milbrook park! Joe and Craig taught some local kids how to say 'high five' then the kids went off round the pool saying 'high five' to everyone!

We headed back to the hostel in a taxi to shower and catch up with people on skype then went to a bar called Schoppdog for dinner (the 3 of us shared the local dish of chips, steak, chorizo and fried egg on top!) and some more yards of beer! On our way back to the hostel we heard a screech and a bang - a car had knocked over a motorbike - Joe ran over to see what was happening. There was a man lying in the road loads of people were stood around him. The police came and the first thing they did was take off his helmet! We were shocked, anyway we decided to leave and carry on back to the hostel and the boys decided to de-tour up a road that ended up a complete waste of time as we then had to walk back down the next road pretty much to where we'd turned off = Que argument numero 2! haha. We finally made it back to the hostel and went to bed!
