We woke up early in the morning excited to go to the beach. We went and had some breakfast before heading to town to see if we could get money. Luckily my card worked and we could now pay for stuff again!! We immediately splashed out on a new pair of sunnys for Shivani before reserving a couple of sun beds and umbrella on the beach. We then went back to the room an got changed into our swim gear and packed our beach bag. We then headed out to the beach and to ou...

We had set an alarm so we could make breakfast and when we got downstairs we found it was really busy. I didn't realise so many people were staying at the hostel. We got talking to a girl who was also going to Morro and agreed to share a taxi to the terminal. After breakfast we headed upstairs to sort out our stuff.

When she came back she phoned India and phoned Masi too. I was still half sleeping and she read her book.
