We didn't have to check out until 12 today so we had breakfast and took a dip in the pool before packing and showering. We went for a walk to grab some lunch before we our pick up at 1pm for the bus to Bali. We had a game of pool, I played pretty good considering we have been out of practice for a while! After a bite to eat we waited back on reception for the at to pick us up. We done the rounds of people and got dropped at the bus station. They aren't sleeper bu...

It rained really heavy last night to the point we couldn't hear each other talking and we were say next to one another! Don't have a great night sleep because we we...

We dropped our bags off next door ready to check in later and we were off down the river to start our walk.At breakfast we spotted a few monkeys playing in the trees on the opposite side of the river.
