Sunday. I woke up before the annoying bird today, that's when I knew I must have woke up too early. 5:30am. Bad times. I was thinking about my family, and couldn't seem to settle, just as I was dozing back off, the bird was cooing away so I was back up again. I started to do some packing trying not to wake Lauren up, but she's a deep sleeper so I was ok. I text my sister and agreed to all meet at 9:30am for breakfast. Breakfast in Thailand is usually toast and eg...

Saturday. I woke up really early as I couldn't sleep. We had to take our bikes back before we did anything then headed back to 'Tony's Place' to sort out our plans, and to help Lauren with hers. Lauren is staying in Thailand on her own and hopefully meeting up with some people she has already met along the way.

The flight was only an hour so by the time we we...

Wednesday. Pool dayyyy! We literally haven't stopped since we got here so as the place we are staying in has a really big pool, we decided to take the day out to chill by it and just take in everything we have done so far. In the evening the four of us went to the international food market, which was an outdoor area with food stands going around and tables and bundles of hay to sit on in the middle, with a live band at the front. We visited the sangria stand whil...
