Again, even though I changed rooms yesterday I was still molestered… well raped… ganged raped by bed bugs, I had over 100 bites and all were red and so so itchy.
I had to wake early because I had a bus organized to get to a beach town called El Tunco in El Salvador.
Two of the three Australian girls joined me to the destination on another bus headed to the same place. Another guy from the hostel named David, a french-canadian guy joined me for the journey on my bus. Because the girls were headed in the same direction we kept on bumping into them at all the stops including the border where locals would sell their wods of American dollars to the people crossing the border being the currency for the country.
David, the two girls and myself checked into a room for $8 a night each that was pretty luxurious with air conditioning and a swimming pool out front, the beach was also a stones throw away and their were a bunch a tied up animals in the garden to amuse the locals albeit a little cruel.
We all went for a swim in the ocean and chilled on the beach for a little while before having to head into the nearby town on Libertad. I didn’t have much American dollars and so I needed an atm, it took us a little while to find a working one and after a ten minute walk out of town finally one worked. I just hope all my other attempts in the other machines didn’t take money out of my account.
Arriving back at el Tunco the four of us went out for dinner and found a bar down the road. This is where I (once again) bumped into Lacie and Leala who Ive now met in 5 different countries around the world over the past year. Crazy huh!
It was very drunken night and a successful one because I was able to find a Swedish girl who had some snus! Its Swedish tobacco in a tea bag that you put under your lip, I used this stuff a lot when travelling through Scandinavia and used a lot in the festivals ive attended.
