Senaru. We were very lucky getting here.
I met GEorgia in Bangsal as we had different boats to the mainland. She had met two more Canadians - Steve and Michelle - a recently married couple on their honeymoon - but they were so cool. Not a couply couple and eager to socialise so it was perfect. The 4 of us went over to Senaru as they managed to get an amazing deal to get us there for only 20,000 each - god knows how they managed that!
We got into Senaru after the van broke down many many times (maybe thats why it was so cheap!) and we found out we coupldnt dio an independant treck - supprise supprise. And it would cost crazy money each - 1,000,000+ each supprise supprise! BUT we chatted with a nice guy and we aranged to move away from the package they were offering and hire 2 prters indevidually, they sorted our food and what would have cost us about 7 million Rupiah ended up costing 2.25m - not bad!
So we chilled for the day - Steve is a really good chess player so we played for quite a few hours. In the morning we had more banana pancakes and then set off - the 4 of us + our 2 really cool porters.
