Dear travel journal,
Another bus day today. I got up early and had breaky and went to collect my washing from the laundry up the road (twice because they forget my bear shirts). And we got into a public bus (minibus with us and 1 other) and drove from 7.30 till 1.30pm with a stop half way for toilets and if anyone wanted food. Back at the same guesthouse we checked in and had a free afternoon. Nicola, tom, bianca, eve and roxana and i headed out and had some lunch and went down to the palace and silver pagoda for a look around which was kind of cool. It was like a mini temple city. Then we all headed to the pharmacy to get a few things and tom headed back with his aftersun cream because he is beetroot red, poor guy. Eve and roxana headed off to the hotel and then to have massages. Nicola, bianca and i headed to the waterfront. We ended up having 30min massages (back for me and nicola and feet for b) and then stopped at a pub where a bunch of our group where and sat down for a chat. Then most people left and i stayed and had a drink with jill, david and lisa and then headed back to the guesthouse to get sorted and meet people for dinner. At 7pm we headed down to the local friends ngo restaraunt, which is a sister facility to the one we went to in laos that helps and trains local homeless kids to give them a better quality of life. The food was awesome. And then back at the hotel the kiwi boys, girls and i crashed euan and gus' room and we all just hung out and played cards for ages which was good fun. And then i headed up and had a shower and got sorted for tomorrow. NightRead more
