Day 7 of Nothing. As if our days on the island couldn't get more relaxing we added some meditation and yoga into the mix. In the days previous we had notice this bald European guy setting up his own little yoga spot and inviting people to join him. As we finally decided we would take part, we approach the 'white monk' and asked if we could join. It was a trap. The sign he had put up on the beach never mentioned that he charged a fee but sure enough that was hi...

After a good nights sleep under the double mosquito net sent to Australia by Debbie (after a few nightmares in Cambodia) that Matt had erected in our new room, hopefully they won't notice the holes in the walls, it's time for 'Day 3 of nothing'. We frequented our previous spot from the last two days at 'Chillout Cafe' and did exactly that all day.

After reading that this was a fantastic place for people who love nature, we were sourly disappointed at mistreated the birds seemed to be kept. Our decision to leave came as a child was allowed to chase and hit a peacock. Stop 3 - The National Mosque. On entering...
