After a long sleep in the morning we decided it would be cool to see the island from the view points on the map. The best way of course was via Quad bikes so we got ourselves a couple and headed off into the afternoon sun in search of many things views new grounds maybe even an island to call home. Unfortunatly all these things had already been found and we were probably 100 years too late.

However we took a taxi to the MBK shopping centre and had a walk around and a Mr Dounut. shopping centre was pretty nice and we didnt get pestered so much bought a few bits and bobs before headiung back to the hostel via the Sky train (this is very cool and very air conditioned) afterwards we had some food at a magic resturant where the guy played some awesome card tricks which impressed us enough to go back again if we got chance the food was awesome too. Then it was time to hit the night market to find ourselves a good watch. As soon as we got there a guy collered us into looking at his collection of ... read more
