We moved on today from Kamala beach to Kata beach on the other side of the island, it was quite a simple journey... we thought. We waited for a showaddywaddy next to our hotel and waited about forty minutes and at last one came... and went, it didn't stop for us, 'what a bell' I said. He got caught at the lights about 100 yards up the road so we went in pursuit we jumped in the back of it anyway and on he went. However we went round the corner and that's where he...
