We went to a local market place to buy some supplies. Made it to Blue Post hotel for lunch- buffet. There was a waterfall - Chania falls. It looked like willie wonka's chocolate river.
There were tables along the lawn. security guards of course. We then decided to go for a hike at oloindonyok sabuk- which means big mountain. It was barely sprinkling that day. When we arrived, the sun was out and we captured a gorgeous view of the area. As we hiked along the path towards the top, we were about 6 km away, it started to pour. So some of us went back to the van and drove up the mountain to get the rest of the group.
We loaded up the van with our group, the driver attempted to bust a bitch, aka turn around...and our tire got stuck in a ditch.
Several attempts were made to help the situation, but ultimately what saved us from our despair, as the sun began to set, was the good old lexus SUV. The men attached the lexus to the van with some bungee cords and off it went. I was so worried about the luggage falling out of the trunk (because we left the trunk open for whatever reason) that i was frozen, and not able to record this amazing potential lexus commercial. Who knew such a prissy looking suv would have so much power and would be able to endure such a rugged terrain.
Anyhow, of course the rain was ALL over with by the time our car was stuck. Great bonding session to say the least.
I had the chance to visit with Lord Macmillan and his wife.
We reached our final destination- Milli's house around 9pm. We had dinner and went to bed.
...talk about home away from home though. (because africa resembles the philippines in more ways than one).
just our luck the toilet coincidentally stopped flushing when we got here. "how do we flush the toilet then?" I just laughed to myself because I've experienced this before. My trips to the Philippines has definitely prepared me for Africa. Any sense of discomfort I might experience, I think I've been through something worse...
