Love this place

As we walked the narrow concrete undulating pathways you could hear music of a flute playing up in the homes above. Matt piggy backing Ashah and Alex and I arm in arm, chatting and hoping we could find our way through the maze of homes that were 2 or 3 levels high. Finally just as we realised we were now lost in the maze we saw a man (with English) who helped us with directions...we hadn't gone to far wrong. It was good to see the way people really live and smell the smells coming from their homes.

There are no cars or motorbikes on this Island, their main form of transport is a bicycle, everyone rides, balance is not an essential quality because there are adults riding around with training wheels...you are never too old to learn to ride!

We cannot boast of a authentic and delicious lunch today...get ready for it...McDonalds! Alex said we must do what the kids want too!  But with a little difference, when I asked for 2 happy meals, the young man asked if I wanted fries or corn, and I could also order milk in a small 226ml carton, and can I say I love their sundae's, they have a sprinkle of nuts. Overall we've had a very relaxing time...now we need to pack again as we head off for the next part of the adventure, Vietnam.
