We had another early start with a long journey ahead to a hotel on Mt Rinjina on route we stopped at a local market, it is nothing like our markets, it's packed, smells and there are flys on everything! There are also hundreds of horse and cart (the poor horses) and lots of motorbikes. Obviously we are as much of an attraction to the people here as they are to us as they wouldn't usually get that many tourists.
We then went to see how bamboo weaving works, and got the chance to have a go, I was a natural! I purchased a sunglasses case which cost me about £1 and we then headed to our next hotel.
After taking the wrong route and ending up on the east side of the island instead of the west we reached our hotel with the most amazing views of the island, volcano, waterfalls and monkeys!
In the afternoon we visited a traditional village where they lived in wooden huts with little light and had about 18 living there! There lifestyle is definitely not something I would be able to get used to! To end the at we went to a restaurant which had steak and chocolate cake, so my day was made, more my kind of living!
