Set my alarm to wake up at 4:45am... Went out to the tv room with my phones and waited for my call... It finally came at 6am (gggrrrrr these Italians) and I had my interview at last... Went ok! A bit chaotic but hopefully got my point across... Now we wait and see! Was going to just brave it out and stay awake seeing as Barbs and I were going for a run but the French Open was not entertaining me so I went back to bed for an hour...

We just made the boat but was an unnecessary rush... Whoops! We had to get a taxi for $1 each to the bus station and then catch a bus to a city called David, where we would then catch another bus (chicken bu...

After a somewhat late night, we had a bit of a sleep in this morning... Didn't really matter as it was actually raining... The hostel offered pancakes for breakfast - we had to make them of course but its pretty social and we took the "free" meal ;) We then wanted to head to what is known as Red Frog Beach on the island of Bastimentos, but as we got onto the rickety old boat and started to make our way across the lagoon, our driver turned around and took us back ...
