The three of us had coffee for breakfast, then headed by minibus to the 4000 islands. A fairly uneventful trip, other than the slow-seeming Lao man who tried to grab everyone’s bag so he could make some money for transferring it to the tuk-tuk. I had no bag, so it wasn’t a problem for me. We took a boat to Don Det Island, and the three of us went looking for a room. It had obviously rained a lot the night previous, and the roads were a muddy mess. I offered to watch the bags (and secretly pretend they were my own for a while) while the others searched for accommodation. Lena and I ended up sharing a bungalow because she was afraid of the animals (which entails everything from rodents and geckos to the pesky flies that were everywhere on the island).<\/p>\n
The three of us took a walk and grabbed some lunch, meeting up with two girls Lucio knew – Justine and Beck. Lucio wasn’t intereted, so Lena and I headed out for a walk on the island by ourselves. We reached the bridge (once an old railway bridge – although I can’t figure out why you’d need a railyway line on two small islands) and sat there for a while. There was a fare to cross so we opted to wait until the next day to cross. We circled the rest of the island, before making our way back to the bungalows.<\/p>\n
We grabbed Lucio and headed to a bar with a nice sunset view (we were staying on Sunrise Blvd.). Had a snack and a drink there, watched the sun set, then headed to the same restaurant we ate breakfast at, and had some dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
