We were meant to be getting the boat down the lake to monkey bay. However, after speaking to several people who all seemed like hardened travellers who had attempted the journey for $25 (cheapest way) we decided to take the bus back. Chicken poo, rotting food, engine fumes, damp conditions, barely any room, fish everywhere, no clean water or private toilet and rats would be tolerable for a couple of hours but not 3 days!! If you wanted to upgrade, which most west...

Will slept really bad due to some strange muscle cramp in his leg, as a result it meant I went and ate breakfast for the first time in a long while. We had decided last last night that we were going to take out the small rowing boat and have an explore around the coast going South. We woke the other two up at 9 and we all talked about how the trip was going to take place. All loaded up with suncream, water and cameras we headed out. Paddling was hard and after a...

Had a lovely shower and even went with Will for breakfast to add to the whole experience. We had very leisurely day with Wills iPod dock, pack of cards and lakeside seats. Lots of banter from last nights proceedings since Shawn and legs11 both managed to get quite attracted to a local girl.. Spent a lot of time w...

Spoke to mum briefly on skype before the invertible happened and Internet unexplainably stopped. Myself and Tom walked into town and tried to find James, a taxi...

Easy day today. Started to read my book from a medical student and tried to build up a bit if colour without turning red. Started talking to two boys bit mire today, and they seemed keen to tag along maybe later to have a peek at rival backpackers mayoka village. I found very long piece of bambo and used it to delicately smash a mango off the tree. However I 'smashed' it far to hard and it split in a rock, it made good eating nonetheless. We ate lunch in town...
