Motorbike.

Yesterday i learnt how to ride a motorbike. We had decided to move from out current room which we renamed to something i can't write after we spent 1 night there. The toilet would flush but then fill up with more yellow water, which smelt like it looked, I have no idea why this happend, but all the same it was rank.
So yesterday we walked further round the island and found a really nice airconditioned, hot shower, clean toilet bungalow with a tv and fridge for 800B a night (about 10 pounds). Anyway we had to get from one end of the island to the other, and carry our bags in 30 degree heat back along the beach to our new bungalow. I thought it would be easier if I hired a motorbike and went and got the bags while Sam waited. Being a bit cocky, i jumped on the bike expecting it to be just like riding a bike but without having to peddle. I made a bit of a fool out of myself as i pelted off up a bank in front of about 10 thai children (all wetting themselves with laughter), my immediate reaction was to put my feet on the floor, however this is not a good ide when the brake is on the foot rests. With no brakes, and alot more power than expected i hurtled off down the most uneven dirt trak you can imagine. The trip back to the bags wasnt much fun. I eventually got a bit more used to it, but then had to ride the bike with a 75 litre rucksack on my back.
Anyway - i made it, and we spend our first night in our new bungalow last night, and it was great.
