Second day on the slow boat


Day 7, second day on the boat. Woken up by a bloody cock, who was doing what they do in the morning. So loud!!!! repeatedly non stop until my alarm went on at 630. So wanted to turn him to McNuggles for breakfast.

Electricity still not on until another 15mins. I had to clean up in the dark. The electricity went off again at 730, so we had to rush finishing everything require light as quickly as possible. Rushy rushy

It was a cloudy morning. We had breakfast by the river. I jus had toast n coffee. My belly is getting bigger n bigger. i wonder when is gonna burst...

Different travellers had their version of boarding time. from 8am to 1030am. We reached port at 8, found a good spot of seats again, waited for another 1.5 hr before our journey started again. This boat however, was much narrower. Yesterday we came in early so our bags were put at the very bottom, which we became almost last people to get our bags. This time, we came up with new strategy. We hold our bags with us until the last min before the dock was fully loaded. But my bag is far too damn heavy. I silently betrayed my frens n jus stuffed it where ever it would be. Of course, we were again, almost the last group could get the bags... :P

It was another 8 hours boat ride. God! We managed to re-arrange the benches trying to make everyone comfortable as possibily can. There were life jkts on the boat, how reassuring...
