For once a quiet room

Had a lovely lay in this morning. Both felt much better. When we went downstairs the woman on reception (who seems really lovely) asked if we'd booked a tour yet. We said no we were just about to and I showed her the details of the cruise we'd picked and the price. She then said she'd try and get the price of the tour they offered (which seems a better one) for the same price. So we're now going with them, it's all booked and we leave at 8am tomorrow for our 3days, 2nights cruise 😊

^^A link to the tour we are booked to do with itinerary and links to make everyone in rainy England jealous.

We also had a quick stroll down to the lake near where we are staying, which was underwhelming really. It seemed to be popular though, a wedding was taking place on the island in its centre and as we were leaving a bus load of tourists turned up.

Due to our looming days on boats and beaches we went on the hunt for sun lotion. We found it in a toiletry shop that had impossibly narrow aisles and was crowded with Vietnamese ladies checking out the lotions. We briefly called in a big mall, which was odd, kinda like a huge indoor market in a run down shopping mall building.

After that we headed to the internet to catch up on blogs and photos, then were off for some yummy food and an early night before our early start tomorrow.
