Thursday

It's great to just relax and explore the local area. We love being able to wander down and visit the elephants next door, the babies are very cute and really like to eat treats!

We follow the road behind the resort and discover a shortcut through the green and beautifully maintained village to the main road. It's even better walking in the rain. 

Now we know that dragon fruit grow on cacti. 

We eat from a variety of little food stalls - we point at what we want, make use of phone apps (very handy) and sometimes find someone who speaks a bit of English. Ian almost copes with the local chilli level, I love it! The roast pork is particularly yum. We manage to chat with a couple of teenagers. They're keen for an English lesson so we collect mum and they come to our room for a couple of hours. Why does this happen on our last day here?
