Day 196

BAILEY STARTS HER TRIP TO COX’S BAZAAR with Bangladesh’s variety of “Speed,” a high-energy drink.  With the Laboni Beach, speed boat ride to Maheshkhal Island, Buddhist and Hindu temples, Inani Beach with Coral boulders which were hidden because of high tide, Himchhari Falls, etc. it felt like we should have bought a case of Speed to keep us going.  It was a wonderful trip which we survived, including 2-14 hour bus rides to and from Dhaka!
