I woke up this morning to becky shouting 'Debra! It's quarter to 8'! I was so exhausted I would have happily missed the boat back home and swam there myself later. I packed my bag and we headed for breakfast at the beach bar. We were feeling slightly rough after our beach bonfire night so we only managed an egg each. We then headed onto the boat and were not loving the feeling of the rocking. We were with the same group of guys we were with last night which was c...

This morning we we had to set alarms for 6.30 as breakfast was at 7. Grim! Becky and I could easily have had a few extra hours but we got up and headed for breakkie. We had eggs and sausages and watermelon. The amazing part was the cup of tea. I had an actual cup of English tea with proper milk. It was the best thing ever. And my first cup of tea in two months! After breakfast we left the cruise ship and took a little boat over to a pier surrounded by little raf...

Today we had a rather alarming wake up call. At around 6 am I heard Anita wretching and heaving in her bed; then she ran to the toilet to be sick.

Turns out there is both! The boys headed to the waterpark but kate, becky and I fancied a day sunning and lounging by the pool. We packed a bag, grabbed towels from reception and headed to a hotel about 15 minutes away in a cab. We were seriously hungry so munched on fried p...

We were all excited about today as it was Friday (not that that really matters when travelling), but it was another leaving do! Leaving do's are always good fun because a massive group gets together and heads out. Chris is leaving tomorrow to go back to his police officer job. I gave Luca a message as I really missed him from hoi'an and he arrived back in Hanoi today. I told him to get his ass out tonight and of course he willingly accepted! I did some washing du...
