After breakfast we walked up Ham Rong Mountain. It's more of a hill really, with beautiful gardens, nice rock formations and a great view over the town. It was a great way to spend the morning.

At lunch they served vegetable soup with pieces of pork floating in it. This seems to be their idea of vegeterianism. When asked for real vegetable soup they merely took the pork out and brought it back. Needless to say, Talita didn't have the soup!

After lunch we walked about 3km downhill to the Cat Cat village and waterfalls. It was a serious downhill with not much of a waterfall at the end and then a serious uphill back to town. Half way up we stopped to rest and enjoy the gorgeous view.

Our transfer to the train station was at 17:00. We had some time to kill so we had dinner, a miniature fight about train tickets and then a couple of beers. Life's good!

Today's highlights:
1. Walking Ham Rong Mountain and enjoying the great view!
2. Walking some more to Cat Cat village and and enjoying the gorgeous view.
