A Night on the Lake


Monday 3rd August 2009
Day 37

Let's just put it this way - I wasn't farting with confidence today.

It was a strange night all round really. The main man at our accomodation was freaking us out a little springing up on us and creeping around our hut a little too much for comfort. Also, I started getting stomach cramps around 3am and went to the outside loo for a fair while. Meanwhile the moon was reflecting off the lake and Layla took a look outside the hut. A fisherman spotted her and started paddling frantically towards her. Layla retreated back to the hut but the guy just stook outside staring in on her. He'd disappeared by the time I came back from the john.

Then at 5am, as if on cue, the pre-dawn prayers kicked in. Not as loud as Bukittinggi but amplified all the same.

A lie in was much needed and enjoyed. We then picked an excellent breakfast spot, brought some honey and cinemon and went for a ride all the way around the lake.
