As we’ve been traveling, sometimes we don’t get the opportunity to write about what we’re seeing or experiencing. Sometimes, as in this case, we write about it but without access to the internet it soon fades into the background and is forgotten about amongst the other posts that have been written.

I thought to myself, ‘surely this will take us to the ferry’ because it was way too little to accommodate all of us with all of our backpacks. Well, to my surprise, this was our ferry–a very small boat!
