oh hayyyyy,
Jo and I met 4 people the first night we got to our hostel, two are from belgium; Stan and Babette, and a german named Guerit and a Brit named Lauren. We started playing poker and drinking and and a really fun night. Today we went with them on a little scotter tour with just our three bikes to see a couple of waterfalls. Unfortunatley, our mo-ped didn't like going uphill much and would start to rattle and make this horrible clicking noise all the way up. It was a bit worrying but mostly funny. The first waterfall we went to turned out to be a little stream in a huge riverbed. I guess we came to see at the wrong time of year. but before we realized that, we hiked 500 meters up hill through the brush before we got to a lookout point. The hike was fun, but tireing, so we went back down and had some nibbles and water. We kept on moving and the roads got a little rougher with big pot-holes and bumps we had to ride over. But it was a lot of fun, other than our rattling little mo-ped. The second waterfall we went to had a very nice little pool with a stream running right into it. It started to rain, and the rain brought out the greens and the yellows in the trees and leaves, and it was beautiful. There were super hyperactive pre-teen thai boys jumping off the rocks and yelling at eachother, and Jo, Lauren and I jumped in and jumped of some of the rocks aswell. It was very refreshing and was a nice end to the day. I dropped off Joanna at our new hostel on a different beach, and went back our old hostel and wore both backpacks and drove to our new hostel. I must have looked funny. Although, we have seen more ridiculous things on Scooters like :
A family of three and they're dog sitting calmy on the back of one scooter.
Four Teenagers on one bike.
A man with two chainsaws on his lap.
I'm sure I've seen more, but those are the ones that standout right now. Anyways, I've got to go get Jo and meet our friends for dinner at the restaurant on the hill.
Stay tuned for our next episode, "the update that erased itself"
