Birthday

At lunchtime the tourguide organised a birthday cake for me. It was really sweet and unexpected. I loved it and appreciated everyone joining in to sing. I've only been on the tour a few days but everyone was lovely about it being my birthday.

After lunch we went to visit a dam and an echo point. Between the 2 points were stalls on the side of the road selling things for the domestic tourists. I got a coconut which was delicious and refreshing. One of the lovely things about being in the mountains is that it's so cool temperature wise here.

On the way back a few of us got dropped off at in the town to have a wonder. I bought some rum from the only liquor store in the town. It was filled with local men getting booze. You had to queue up and enter this metal cage to order what you wanted. I bought a bottle of ginger flavoured Barcardi rum. I've never tried it before so I'm looking forward to it. Many of the others was buying alcohol as well to take on the houseboat were staying at in a couple of days.Leggi altro
