Tuesday September 18th. Or at least I think it is. We have no idea what day it is.
We're laid like idiots on our sunbeds, on the beach, laughing hysterically out load at our Bill Bryson books. I am reading Thunderbolt Kid and Roy is reading Down Under. They are Dad's books - I took them from his room and decided they'd make good holiday reading. They do.
I can't remember the last time I laughed like this when reading.
It's overcast today. Lovely snorkelling though.
There are over 600 palm trees on the island. Ok, I know it's not THAT fascinating but it breaks up the bits where I say "went snorkelling" and "grilled fish for lunch". Back to the palm trees. They form a "ring" between the bungalows and the beach. Every morning a guy comes round and rakes up all the fallen debris from the palm trees and other trees. By night time, the ground is littered again. We haven't counted the trees - they are numbered.
Lunch: tuna and garlic butter sauce, butter couscous, salad, papaya. Roy: same, plus chocolate brownie and custard.
I never dreamed that I would become a beach walker. You know those couples who walk up and down the beach together all day. But sometimes it is the only way to cool down or to dry off.
Our afternoon snorkel was good despite the could cover. The visibility is excellent today. Seeing new fish every time we go out. Skipped sundowners (shock, horror) in favour of pre-dinner drinks at the Fishermans Bar. Well you've got to ring the changes, hey?
Dinner was a chinese buffet and was really good. Spring roll, special fried rice, noodles, beef in garlic and oyster sauce, sweet and sour fish. Then rice Congay which was yummy. Coffees in the Blue Lagoon whilst watching a storm out at sea. The lightening was weird.
Bed and Bill Bryson at 11.30. More LOL moments.
