Catalonia, Alicia and I all went out for breakfast this morning. Then Alicia and I met with Cynthia, Jo, Karlotta, Anique and Phil (a guy from England Cynthia is sharing a room with) we hoped on the scooters and headed to a waterfall. We surprisingly this time didn't get lost. We swam in the very cold waterfall, for awhile before deciding to head up the mountain to the White Buddha. On the way from the waterfall we met up with Ben and Nick (friends of Phil's) th...

This morning my room buddies and I all went to breakfast together including Cynthia and Karlotta. We found a nice cafe serving English breakfast, which everyone wanted which made me laugh as I am the only Brit in the group. There is two from Germany, one from America and one from South America. We are all travelling alone. We hired mopeds and planned to ride to the Hot Springs that Karlotta had been told about, map and directions in hand we set off. We knew it w...

We moved on to a temple, known as the White Temple it was designed by a...

Today I spent the day with Andrew (Australian) who I am sharing a dorm with and Anna (American) who is staying in another hostel. We got a taxi to the top of the mountain to visit the temple, it was such a long way up that my ears popped on the way. The temple itself was really amazing, unfortunately though it has continued to rain today, but not bad enough that you can't get out and about. We came down from the mountain early afternoon and found a place called t...
