Day 81 16th feb The decisions been made that today we are going to hire the kayak that's been sat out on the sand since we arrived, and take the advise of a guy we met on the first night to travel into the mangrove river, so after a fruit and muesli start that's exactly what we do... The weather, although always sunny has been getting progressively windier since our arrival, but thankfully today it's dropped a little.. This however does not mean that the sea h...

Day 80 feb 15th A little unsure of how I'm feeling i crawl through the mosquito net opening and open the shutter window allowing us to enjoy a gentle sea breeze and a jaw dropping view of a perfectly pristine beach from the comfort of our bed...

The beach is already getting busy so we consider ourselves luck to find one quickly, and close to a central walkway that leads you either to t...

Day 77 12th feb We awake from the first reasonable nights sleep in a while and leave the hotel in search of some breakfast.... All of the street food stalls have been removed and replaced by parked cars... You'd never believe it was the same place as what we saw last night...
