Hung over. I sleep until after 12, then pull myself out of bed to have lunch with Lily. After which I come back home and go to sleep again. I only surface to buy a bus ticket for Bangkok for tomorrow and eat something. The wifi is so intermittent in this place that I don't get Lily's message about meeting for dinner before she gets her flight to the Philippines. I get my bag packed and everything ready for tomorrow, I'll be up early, the bus is at 8, but at least...

Up again and over to Molly's. It's expensive, but it's nice to have a relatively normal breakfast. I get to some blogging, there is not really too much to do here during the day. The town is dead because everyone is away to the temples. The one day was enough for me, I think I would grow tired of it if I went for the 3 days. The town only really comes to life in the evening, where there is an aptly named pub street. I haven't been yet, maybe give that a go tonigh...

After this I head in to town and park myself in Molly Malone's, ...

Well the alarm is set for a fresh 4.30 and I meet it with sleepy eyes and a weary body. I am guilty of the snooze button but throw myself out of the bunk and go over to wake Gemma. I think I remember her coming in at 3.30 so I'm sure she is going to be feeling great. She gets up and ready in record time, then she tries to go and wake the other people she invited. No one appears and as Mr T is here the two of us jump in, I'm not missing the sunrise. I txt Lily on ...

So the way this works at this make shift bus station is that you pay $1 and you are given a tuk tuk driver who will take you in to town. Seems fair enough to me, that's not an extortionate price and I can live with that no problem. I have managed to pick no hostel whatsoever, despite my research yesterday. Luckily the way that it works here is that you let the tuk tuk driver take you to his friends place, which is too expensive, then I tell him my price range and...
