It continues to rain and rain so much that the lane outside the BnB is flooded above ankle height every day. It recedes quite quickly but it’s not surprising there’s so much flooding with all the development. Even if they sorted out the drains the rivers and rice paddies are completely saturated and would struggle to absorb all the rain water from the streets. I still cycle around on my trusted pink bike and my bright green raincoat that the landlady bought for me and wearing the flip flops that she also thoughtfully provided. It’s still very warm so it’s almost pointless wearing the raincoat as you just sweat like crazy anyway.
In a break in all the rain I managed to make it to a local bar called Havana where there quite a few people at least. There are so many bars and cafes here but most of them are empty. You do wonder how people survive in this place as there are only so many people who go out. Most bars have very long happy hours with 2 for 1 as well which makes drinks cost very little. I drank so many passion fruit mojitos that I actually became an expert on which bars had the best one – Morning Glory and White Marble. This is not something that I’m particularly proud of…
