Had a late start after the past two days of getting up at rediculous o'clock. Went for a walk down the beach, picked up a litre of chocolate milk on the way and chugged it, and just layed on the beach and read until around 1pm. Me and the lads went for breakfast in a Muslim run buffet thing so we thought we'd better put a t-shirt on, it was only 2rm for a full plate of rice with bean sprouts and veg, what a bargain. The girls went to a cake shop to eat and ended up getting cheese cake, I couldn't resist so had to join them later. Sat at the cake shop and played P&A for a while before going back to the beach for another epic frisbee session. Headed to a place called the Red Tomato to eat for in the evening and ordered a beef Bryani, really tasty and good value for money. Although we were sitting down wind of the chef so every time he fried something we'd get an eyefull of smoke. Later that night we went out with the Canadian couple because it was Heathers birthday. Found a bar on the beach that wasn't actually open but the owner let us buy beer from the shop over the road and drink it ther. Met up with a load of other people, and the two Dutch girls showed up later. Andy, a guy from York taught us some drinking game that was like a mix of Ring of Fire, Up Down River, and High / Low / Middle Card Chug. We then set up a 2 deck game of Ring of Fire, everyone was loving it. Had a real laugh after introducing the drink aren't allowed to leave the table rule, was really funny watching everone squatting under the table trying to finish off their drinks. About half way through I was bursting for a piss and didn't have an 8, ended up having to pay Pat 3rm for his, what a b******! A girl at one end of the table made the rule that you have to swear every time you go, don't think Coops liked that rule, the Dutch girls were loving it though, they were coming out with all sorts, even when it wasn't their go, what exactly is a 'f*** goat'? The dutch girls were still ignoring Helen and Coops, quite funny how women can hold a grudge like that. Watched some Peep Shows when we got back to the room, and were literally in stitches over SuperHans reaction to someone trying to get him sectioned.

Got up fairly early to rent a car to see the rest of the island. Stopped off to fill up and get some tuna and rolls for lunch. Me and Pat bought another litre of chocolate milk each, Burns and Coops couldn't resist and got some stawberry. Pat made the least funny practical joke of the century by picking up the car keys and making me think that I'd lost them for ages. Drove to a place called the 'Oriental Village', nothing very spectacular about it, but there was a Cable Car, so we went up that to the top, 710m. Really nice view from the top, but a cloud appeared out of nowhere and ruined it. But there was no need to worry because according to Pat and Rich 'the sun will burn through the cloud', what a saying, I've never heard such bulls*** in all my life. On the way to cue back down some woman asked Pat if he needed a foot massage, he said no, so she asked him if he needed cream for his sun burn, me and Burns burst out laughing. In the cue on the way down, we could hear some little kid screaming their head off as if it was some ride at Alton Towers. When we got to the bottom we bumped in to the dutch girls, I swear they're stalking us, they still didn't say a thing to the girls. Checked out my parking, turns out I wasn't even in a parking space and now all the other cars had gone it looked like I'd just dumped it in the middle of the road. Headed to the Seven Wells waterfall and saw some crazy monkeys on the way and bumped into the Dutch girls again! The waterfall was pretty cool, nice cold water to cool off in, and a slide carved out of the rocks by the water was good fun. Had lunch here, chicken flavoured crisps with Tuna mayo in a bun has got to be one of the best sandwiches ever. Struggled to find the Black Sand Beach, and when we did it was a bit of a let down, they should have really called rank beach, or scummy beach or something. It didn't matter though because there was play area to mess about on. After that we drove around trying to find somewhere interesting to go, Pat navigated us straight past most of the attractions, I think he was trying to lead us to a golf course, but we realised just in time and ended up going to a GoKart track. Helen sat out of it and got some photos while the rest of us battled it out on the track. Well I say battled it out, but I just overtook eveyone before the first half of the course was over and never saw them again, apparently Pat and Coops had a bit of fight going for second and third. As I was coming up to my last lap I could see Burns round the corner, but didn't quite have enough time to lap him. Drove to the Field of Burnt rice, turned out to be more of a garden than a field, and I definately couldn't see any burnt rice in it, just loads of mud and dirt. Drove to the main port to see if I could find a bank to get some money out as it turns out that HSBC isn't the worlds local bank any more and no ATM's will let me have any money, forgot it was half 5 on a Saturday though so didn't have any luck. Drove back to the hostel and when we arrived the guy that owns it came up to us and started waffling on for about an hour about how he had hit the car we were driving about 6 years ago and smashed the front of it. Went for a shower with the frog that we seem to have aquired in our bathroom, and went out to eat the same food at the Red Tomato again because it was that nice. Spent 3 hours on the internet for only 10rm, bargain.
