The Good, The Bad and the Tugly
... so we took in the “Rope Festival”. The centrepiece of the three day affair is a huge tug-of-war. It is so huge in fact that it is in the Guinness book of records for the largest rope and tug-of-war in the world.

After we ate, we went into the village to see the history ...

In the dark and without Josh, though, it was an entirely different experience. We stopped for directions two times. However, our hotel is not in a tourism area so no one speaks English. The first place we stopped, the young man went to ...
