Usual routine this morning of breakfast and Wi-Fi. Today’s mission is to try and find some money somehow as we are really running low in this silly town that doesn’t have any cash machines. First stop trying to exchange some sterling at the hotel place we’re staying at, 13% commission! Which is still better than the two hour drive but I’m not entirely happy. So we decided to try and push on and go to see the tour bloke we used before on the off chance he takes credit card, fully expecting them not to, and they don’t. But, spotting a missed sale he points us in the direction of, to be honest what I’ve been hunting for the entire time, an enterprising local that will break the credit card rules and “sell” you some money.  Finally, at a bargain 10% commission, which given that they have to pay 2% themselves didn’t seem that bad, plus we only needed £40.

Admin done we book a rapids boat trip for the afternoon for all of us and just Rebecca and I for a night safari

A quick lunch in the room and we head off to the jetty for our boat trip to begin. It’s good but partly add we’ve already done one we new what to expect and the rapids weren’t great. We still got wet and Rebecca loved that part

My highlight was finding the nice water proof bag that we kept the camera in was doing a great job of keeping the camera immersed under 3 inches of water the whole time. Camera zero, river one…. And it’s still not looking promising at midnight, only tomorrow well tell.

Dinner was in one of the floating restaurants again, lovely good and again very good value at about £8 for all of us to be completely stuffed, then Rebecca and I picked up our 4×4 for the night safari.

Off into the palm tree plantations and even through Rebecca did fall asleep we still managed to see a lemur, a couple of small wild cats, although not sure what they were, plus a snake and a few birds as well. Not to bad really for a couple of hours riding on the back of the truck. Home via our normal boat and Li’s done a great job of packing ready for tomorrow’s nightmare drive
