day 213, Dondet

First thing to do in the new year was to have a powerful cold shower to wash the river off me and refresh, which was fabulous before having breakfast at the bungalow restaurant, which consisted of 8 chairs around one table and a tiny kitchen hidden away and the cutest little puppies running around and the odd skanky cat. Had a bloody massive curry and a shared plate of spring rolls which are soon becoming a habit, then retired to a hammock and laid there for almost the whole day reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and falling asleep. Midafternoon walked into town, picked up a samosa and used the shitty internet café before crossing the island (all 2 minutes of it) to watch the sunset, meeting part of the group who spent the day at the happy bar. We met for dinner at the aussie bar which served amazing western food, attempted phoning home with mixed success then onto a bar for a chill out, some pancakes and shithead.
