We had an 8.30am pick up from the hostel, this huge truck turned up and we had to climb in the back, once the truck was full with about 15 people we thought that would be it, no more people. Boy were we wrong! He just kept stopping and picking more and more people up! In the end there were 35 people in a 15-20 seater truck. They were hanging off the back sat on a stool in the middle of the two side seats! Aw Asia never fails to amuse me! Scott pulled a tesco ta...

We had a super lie in this morning and got ready at our own pace, we are checking out.

Every now and then they would just cut the engine though for long tailed bo...

We found a noodle soup restaurant for breakfast, and it was delicious! There was cloves of garlic on the table which you could help yourself to including all the spices! It was 9am when we finished and went to spot some good beaches to relax on, we noticed that they don't surface very early here! The bank was supposed to be open at 8am and was still closed. Shutters were down on shops, hardly anyone on the road, it was sort of creepy. This huge I and has hardly a...
