Our final day of the trip! And sunshine!!! Wow!! We began by signing up for the early morning yoga session that came complimentary with our hotel. This saw us at 8am on the rooftop of the hotel with the ‘master’, on some spongy mats, doing all kinds of stretches and breathing and contorted poses. Both of us 
were beginners, and neither of us could touch our toes! There was a 15min relaxation part at the end – we nearly fell asleep. Successfully, we both managed to avoid getting the giggles in the session and the master seemed quite pleased with our efforts.We spent the remainder of the morning swimming in the SUNSHINE in the pool (we cannot believe this sunshine after a month of clouds and rain – finally felt on holiday!) then off in a tuk tuk to purchase some elegant brass birds we had seen the day before.
Lunch was great – we went to the harbour and selected a nice sized red snapper caught that 
morning, then walked fast pace (touts swarming around us like flies to poo – ‘I’ll cook it!! I’ll cook it!’) to a local restaurant who grilled it for us in ginger, garlic and lemon. It was absolutely yummy, and we gave all the tit bits to the meowing cats at our feet. We had a laugh
at some of the funny English spelling in the menu too – a favourite under the soft drinks list was ‘Diet Cock’, haha! Then a quick whizz around the bazaar shops, to get Gaz a nice stripey shirt, and Rach a pashmina scarf and two pairs of ‘ali-baba’ shorts.

All in the nick of time for our taxi to our hotel by the airport, and we were really pleased when it pulled up and we found it was a Regency cab. We zoomed all the way to Abad Hotel (no laughing) and settled in for the evening. The boys eventually rocked up in a fleet of tuk tuks and hit the buffet, whilst we decided on some room service for our final meal.
A good night's sleep and we were up at 5.30am for breakfast and the quick minibus drive to the airport. Two long flights later and we landed back in the UK. We said a final goodbye to the boys and jumped in the H. Hughes taxi for a zip back along cow and goat-free roads to Radley.
