Not much sleep on the bus, as it was a bumpy ride, and not very roomy. A little tired, we were dropped off outside the city and transferred to songthaews, and taken closer to the city centre. Basically, they drop you off at a guesthouse where they try and get you to stay, and use their tours. A bit of a hindrance, but I imagine it works sometimes. I checked the map to see where I was, and used my handy compass to figure out where west was, and headed west and north till I reached my guesthouse. Easier to find than I thought it might be with my small hand drawn map on a post-it note.
Had a walk around to look into rock climbing and trekking and that sort of thing. A little more expensive than I’d like to pay, but I’m keeping my options open. Lack of sleep, plus the heat was making me tired, so I headed to the guesthouse and had a long nap followed by a shower.
Checked out some bookstores and killed some time by sipping on a banana shake before my yoga class at 5pm. The fact that I haven’t been to yoga in a few weeks was abundantly clear. I managed okay, but it was a pretty advanced class to begin with. The heat didn’t help much either.
Had another much needed shower after yoga, then went and grabbed some food at the bar down the street. I hopped on the internet a little later, and ran into Pennie and Wiki who were checking into their room. They seem to be following me, which makes for some good company, so I shan’t complain.
