22nd July:
Chatted with Alex, one of the locals who has 15 brothers and 6 sisters!! I spent a good few minutes trying to explain that chilli wasn't the same as ketchup. It was not successful...
I met Laurence, a traveller from the backpackers next door who walked to town with me to do a few errands. The ATM didn't work so I didn't have any money to top up my local SIM card- pretty unsuccessful trip until I went to the police station. I asked them to make a report about the money that was stolen from my backpack in my dorm and then said it would cost $50 (yet it was 20p for locals!) and they needed to start a full investigation and come to Butterfly tomorrow morning! Wow the police are actually effective here! But maybe a little too much, seeing as I just needed a written report for my insurance claim which would have taken about 2 mins to write!
We all had a big BBQ on the beach for dinner, then went out to a bar/club crawl in town which was great fun. Although we did fear for our lives when we were driven back to butterfly by a random drunk stranger!
