Getting off at what was told to be our corner we made our way to the hostel district before finally deciding on ...

... there around 12:15. I tell the lady that I have a reservation for 1:00 and give her my name. She replys that the bus is not yet there and she will call me when it has arrived. I wait and meet a few people at the station. Around 12:55 I go and ask if the bus has arrived. She tells me that it will be another 15 to 20 minutes. Around 1:10 I ask again at which time she tells me that my name is not on the reservation list and the bus is full ...

... I can just get a taxi myself!!! Being that the mosque is just beside I decide to visit it. It is quite impressive in size and has some nice stain glass.

There are paid by the number of cigarettes they get done in the day. I am told that ...

... we played with tigers as though they were housecats. Arriving on a weekend night, we enjoyed the amazing Pai art and food night market, eating pancakes made out of the converted-VW vans everywhere. I ate myself silly that night. 16) Koh Tao, Thailand: Loving Mary and Diving in Tao: The whole stay on Koh Tao was spectacular, but the day of the Waning Crescent ...

... ce trois jours!!!! que dire de plus!!!! 1 iere journee (3 janvier), nous sommes partie de notre guest house pour aller au Mont. On devait faire 100 metre selon l'agence de voyage mais en realite c'etait 5km, nous avons peste tout le long mais on est arrive quand meme au pourtour du cratere, qui fait 10km de diametre (impressionant). Une vue imprenable sur le mont Bromo , qui se situe dans ce grand cratere, un panorama presque lunaire. Une belle journee en perspective. Seul ...
