After a lie-in, we actually had a very productive hangover day. Recruited Matt from our dorm and went on a mission to find Than Long's photo gallery - was amazing, really moving, inspirational black and white photographs (he understands the need for black and white - makes everything look good, seriously!)and then zipped off to see the Cham Towers, which were really cool with some fantastic views.

Ate Mexican that night and even managed to stomach the free shot of tequila ("it makes me happy"). The next day we went on Mama Linh's boat cruise - groaned/grinned our way through the tour guides monologues which included much crudity and many innuendoes - quite a character! Stopped at a few islands for swimming, snorkelling (got bitten by jellyfish - they mustn't have been too bad cos didn't hurt much - either that or I'm just too cool), sunbathing (under a cloudy sky) and floating around in rubber rings with plastic cups filled with 'delicious'red wine (love the floating bar - every beach should def have one!) Also stopped off at an aquarium - it umm had some fish... not much else to say about that really.
Met up with the people we'd met on the boat that evening for drinks - Crazy Kim's and The Sailing Club again, why change the routine if it works hey? Excellent night - after The Sailing Club chucked us out we stayed on the beach until about 7 in the morning. At about 6 the sun started to rise (one of the best sun rises yet - so beautiful) and a bunch of us decided it would be a great idea to run into the sea with all our clothes on (may have been my bright idea...). Spent the next hour attempting to do the classic "Karate Kid" pose on this stump in the sea (you know the one, both arms up, knee up and balancing on one foot). Needless to say Daniel son was somewhat better at it than us and we fell in over and over again (attempting to avoid the rocks and short hidden stumps)! Cut my feet to shreds, but didn't feel the pain at the time so kept going - was in the zone, man - Mr Miyagi would have been proud at our dedication. Anyway after never quite mastering the balancing act but acquiring an intrigued Asian audience we waded out defeated (I swear it was more narrow than Daniel's!) and soaking wet (obviously) - wasn't the most comfortable walk home! Got back, showered (?!) and then went straight back out to meet up for breakfast - you know it's a good night when you go to bed at 8.30 in the morning with scrambled egg in your tummy! Spent the next day recovering in Guava, which does the best breakfasts ever and has extremely comfortable sofas (mmmm), with the survivors from the night before - all good!
