We left the station and hopped onto two mini buses - one with air conditioning and one without. I sadly got the one without. And boy was it warm. After a couple of hours of driving, a roadside check by the police, and a break to cool down we arrived in the beautiful seaside location of Ao Nang.

We all had a laugh about it and that was the end of that; or so I thought.
When we finished our lovely meal, some birthday music came on. I began looking around to see who's birthday it was. And to my surprise, it was mine. Nin decided to continue with her original plans and organised the party with the restaurant. She had personally made a decorative cake and sweet collection and had already prearranged another cake from the restaurant. Boy was I embarrassed.
A day later we discovered, thanks to the owner of our hotel, that it was Nin's birthday. She tried to hide it from the group, but we managed to throw her a surprise party too at another restaurant. Ending with Nin drinking one bottle of beer - which made her incredibly giddy and great fun to watch!
