Slept about three hours again last night, not a great kip I have to be honest. Bloody boiling with just the fan and the roosters and pack of dogs were way too noisy! Ellie slept like a baby as usual.

We were up and out by 8.30am, we were going to walk everywhere today to hopefully wear ourselves out and be able to sleep more tonight.

All the locals think we are mad to use our legs and not a tricycle though. Still asking us if we want a ride and waving at us frantically. They love seeing tourists I’m see of it!

We got to the chocolate hills by 10am, powered through the walk down the road. Ellie narrowly missed standing on a little yellow chick with a broken wing on the side of the road. That wouldn’t have been pleasant to stand on! We were the only people walking everyone else had shuttles and mopeds. We thought about getting a moped but we have come so far without having any injuries knowing our luck we would hire one and crash it off the road in the last week of travels! We could do with getting our steps in anyways!

The myth of the chocolate hills is that two giants were having a fight hundreds of millions years ago and threw boulders at one another but scientists believe it’s a build up of coral and fossils because it was underwater so long ago. Either way they’re pretty awesome to look at for as far as the eye can see and are so perfectly round! It was named a USECO protected site.

After the obligatory photos and staring in awe that we actually got here after so long we walked back down the thousands of steps and stopped in the restaurant there for a bite to eat because we weren’t sure where we would find another one any time soon. A tuna sandwich the size of the palm of my hand did the surprising job of filling me up.

Next stop was a few kilometres down the road to the Chaps chocolate hills adventure park.
No one could really get there without walking from the main road because they were laying a new concrete road. It was absolutely dead. Good how they had set it up but not at all busy. We were doing the bicycle on the tight rope hovering over the chocolate hills, haha! I was looking forward to it and even though this was Ellie’s idea she absolutely crapped her pants! We couldn’t go together side by side because it was a one way back and forth. Petrified she was haha shaking like a leaf for about an hour afterwards!

It was afternoon now and we decided to walk back, feeling a little peckish as we didn’t eat hardly anything yesterday or this morning we found a new glamping site with a restaurant, it looked decent answer much not to our surprise it was dead quiet. We stopped here for lunch, I ordered the sweet corn soup and my god it just as well have come out in a bucket it was bloody massive!! Delicious but massive! Ellie had to have some of it alongside her surf and turf noodles. We tried there spring rolls aswell, they were a little strange - prawn, ham and cheese spring rolls (never seen that before but hey ho they tasted okay ish haha!)

After lunch we headed back, had a chill then went back to the 7/11 for a walk in the evening. Nothing at all going on here will be looking to moving onto the next place tomorrow!

Even though we walked about 15km in the heat today we were still not so tired. Looks like I’ll be in for a light sleep again tonight...
