We all slept in until around 9.30 - lovely! Adrian and Ginelle left an amazing breakfast for us - pancakes, sweets, curry pastries, etc. It was pretty filling! I opened my presents - a book on Nelson Mandela from Sue and Arthur, l’eau de toilette from the girls and some funny cards! Thank you!
We thought we would mooch around all day, but in the end decided to go for a walk at Beko National Park where we went last night. Just as we set off, it tipped down with rain for ages, and we were driving through rivers! We finally got there, and decided that it was all too wet for us, so we decided to drive to a riverside town where Adrian recommended a restaurant - as we got there it was as if it had never rained there! We also avoided running over a boy on a bike! We didn’t intend to eat, but after walking around a bit we couldn’t help ourselves. Out comes the salted egg crab again with noodles and veg - amazing! Very different from the crab at Top Spot, but it was the first time Paish tried crab! The noodles were amazing that we got another plate!
We drove back home in time for our not so secret crocodile hunt tonight - we drove around 45 minutes to the jetty of Sophie’s friend, and was met by a lovely guide called John who was really passionate about conservation and watched a heap of national geographic shows. We went out on the boat with two couples from Amsterdam at around 5pm, and started dolphin watching - unfortunately no dolphins. Then we went for crocodiles and finally spotted a small crocodile on the river bank that scuttled into the water - scary stuff and amazing to see one in the wild. Unfortunately we didn’t see anymore during daylight, but when dusk came we saw some spooky eyes poking up from the water. We stopped in the boat opposite a fishing village o eat chicken rice, then went to see the fireflies - lovely! After the boat broke down for a while, we finally headed home - what an amazing tour!
We got back late, a bit of karts, then bed!
