Breakfast was arranged for 6.30am with the boat leaving at 7am. Becky’s alarm goes off at 6.10am mine went off at 6.25am, enough time for the short walk across to the dining hall.
Boat trip back was fine just under an hour. Think the driver was in a rush as he was going at some speed. Once we arrived back it was a day off! We had nothing planned for the rest of today as our next trip wasnt till tomorrow when we go to kingtanban river.
Since we arrived back at the hostel early our room wasnt available yet so we sat at the rooftop terrace, Becky sorted the blog….I did what I do best….play football manager.
Once our room was ready Becky fell fast asleep straight away for about 3hours, nothing unusual there, I decided to plan our trip to the Thailand Islands as this was still to be done.
Couple of hours later Becky reappears with the suggestion of going a walk around to see if there’s actually anything to do or see. As we were going around Becky seemed to become dizzy with blurry eyesight and needed to sit down. After intially trying to hide from her, I found a seat nearby which was conveniently next to an ice cream shop 😁. After enjoying a well deserved cone for saving the day it was time to head back to the hostel to organise the bags and find a restaurant for tonight.
Our choice was the number one rated place from TripAdvisor. A rooftop Italian restaurant, the reviews were good (better than any other restaurants around). The place was nice to be fair, chill out atmosphere and not too bad views, just abit windy. During the meal Becky got a bit excited and hit my injured knee with the beer glass, I screamed out holding my knee which is still really sore from the coral, Becky found this even more hilarious ! Our usual bet of the evening was to guess how much the bill was and the loser had to pay (even though it was both our money). Becky played it safe with 75 so I said if it was lower then I win or higher then she wins. Becky’s horror to find out it was DOUBLE her guess. Yip 132, I thought no way did 2 pizzas and 4 small beers cost £25. They were having us on surely. Apparently not as they sneaky put extra charges which weren’t put in the menu, also the price of the beer wasnt in the menu either so that was a mistake on our part!
We headed back to the hostel after that to have an early night (as if Becky didn’t have enough sleep during the day), on the way back there were huge cockroaches coming out of the cracks of the pavement,the drains smelling horrific!
Not much at all happened today very boring 😣. First time on the trip I feel like I’m missing home…..well I miss Baxter anyway nothing else.
