What a day!
We got up reasonable, went to get our money to go to breakfast and couldn't find Paul's wallet anywhere! We searched high and low, convinced that it must be in the room! We couldn't find it anywhere! It had all of our dong and dollars, bank cards, the ticket for our boat trip and Paul's driving licence in it! Time was getting on, and we were getting hungry, so we decided to see if we could change the Thai money that we still had on us to dong. After a few trips to several banks, we found one that would do it! And so we had breakfast!
We had no idea what to do really, so we phoned the travel insurance to let them know. They cancelled all of our cards and said we'd have to go to the police station if we wanted to put a claim in for the cash. They recommended we contact visa international to see if they could get some money to us! After searching for numbers and getting nowhere with our mobiles, we asked the hotel to help, and they let us use their phone. We think we've sorted it so that they send the money to a local western union, but we've still not actually got the money yet! We have about one days worth of money on us, then we're stuck, so fingers crossed!!
After sorting the money bit, we went to the police station to report it, and they were completely unhelpful!! So it will be a miracle if we ever get the cash back!
We were feeling pretty fed up, so had lunch and then went to chill in a nice bar with afternoon tea! It was very nice and did the trick! We're starting to feel much better and chilled again!
We're struggling a bit with the people, it's non stop hassle! We've never seen anything quite like it before, and it gets to you after a while. We're hoping that we'll get our money in the morning and escape for the day on a scooter!
Off for dinner now and a few beverages! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
