17 day adventure but life-long friends

Our trip started with a welcome dinner and drinks to meet everyone and our tour guide Pinky. Everyone was really nice and Pinky made us feel comfortable in what we had planned for the next day and recommended places for us to go. I'd do abit of research before so you have a idea of what Pinky will talk about through out the trip but feel free to ask questions. We Headed north and got to experience all parts like night buses, beach hostels and definitely a massage or two along the way. The hotels are nice wouldn't say more then 3 stars but the bungalows at the second place were so nice. Nothing was to much trouble and Pinky organised drivers if we wanted to do somthing alittle different in our free time which was great. I'd bring more then one pair of swimmers for both Beach hostel stays. I went to many markets and Pinky would help with how much to barter or negotiate at each place which was helpful. My group made my trip and getting Pinky was a plus.
