9th January - Sunday Travelling day, we watched whilst they tied our back packs to the back of the mini-bus, along with a moped and giant bags of possibly rice, it was a little concerning but they looked secure! We squeezed in as usual 4 to 3 seats cosy for a 6 hour trek! We did stop as usual on route but this time it was without any form of toilet so the locals wondered off to bushes, we just watched.
