Again, we were delivered to the door of a nice hotel and here we stayed, there were 2 3/4 beds so sharing with Rob again. That evening we ate at a local restaurant where a party was going on and all the kids were absolutely wasted, it was funny to watch but became less so when the smell of sick reached us from the nearby toilet!!! That night I managed very little sleep cramped against the wall and was bitten by bed bugs 17 times on both legs! The next morning we went on a pre-arranged tour to the highest mountain in the area (2500metres - i think), Mel had been ill the past few days so she had no energy to climb but we did and the views from the top were incredible. The sky was perfectly clear and the horizon seemed to be an infintity away. The rest of the day was a little less adventurous visiting handicraft villages and the 'Crazy House' - the president's daughter had designed a guest house that was simply weird and has become another extra on their tour. That night I slept on the floor, getting bitten only 3 times on my finger this time!
