This is my third entry of the day which suggests I'm not having a good run of it. - We're having a bit of a bad day...

We couldn't stand the sight of 21 Guest Hell House any longer so we forced ourselves out in the hope that maybe whatever is around the area will lift our spirits. It's funny how my perception of Hua Hin has now immedietly changed into something so negative... The beach looked and felt just as dirty as the room we couldn't run fast enough away from. There was piles of glass, shells and rubbish and was a literal wasteland for a long stretch in sight: small shacks littered around where some of the poorer villagers lived and loads of little weird-looking crabs darting around my feet- it was all just strangely surreal.

After trudging on through all the waste, we found ourselves at a nicer end of the beach in the lavish looking 'Herb' bar which is apart of a clean and modern-looking hotel. JUST THE PICK-ME-UP WE NEEDED! I perked up with a nice cool aloe vera juice and a prawn stir fried lunch- I even had a dip in their ocean view jacuzzi relinquishing what little joy I could out of a disasterous day.

All you can do is laugh... We knew something had to give on this holiday, it'd been perfect until Hua Hin. Maybe the entire place just wasn't for us. We certainly weren't sitting around to find out. Me and Pippa have made a swift getaway and are currently on a private bus to Bangkok. It's going to take 7 hours for us to get there and we'll be a day ahead of schedule but it looks as if we can't sleep 'anywhere' afterall...
