Back to the City

It was pouring rain this morning so I opted out of the morning safari excursion. I think I’ve had just about enough rain. Normally I’m a roll with punches but it seemed like the thing to do especially when the boat pulled up again without cover. It’s quite funny though as one of the girls in the group knew the Spanish wouldn’t go but she thought I would. In the end, it was the Dutch who braved the rain. The rain which only ended minutes before they returned.

Our join in tour was 9 ppl (I had to be the single supplement). A group mix I’ve never been in, 4 Spanish, 4 Dutch and me. Although one of the Dutch is actually Spanish. All couples of course but a fun group that included everyone.

The ride back to the pier was plagued with rain even though we tried to wait it out some. Another reason to have the cover up. We got the same replies about wind and that it’s more difficult to drive the boat the it up, but it wasn’t convincing since we’d seen other groups leave with a cover on their boats.

Anyhows, a welcome return to the city. My hotel was close to Terminal 21 and it was perfect to head there for dinner, including of course mango sticky rice. It’s still as inexpensive as I remember and the portions were perfect for me :)Read more
