Saturday September 15th

We were woken at 11.35am by the room boy knocking at the door. Roy thought his watch had stopped because we'd slept so long! We'd missed breakfast.


Had a snorkel, I wasn't yet bold enough to go out to the reef drop off, and then went for lunch. They had a wonderful curried pumpkin and lentil dish. And papaya. After lunch, we walked round to the north shore and snorkelled a short section of the house reef. It was so much calmer here and I felt more confident. The reef here is only about 10 metres off the beach so a good place to start. Beautiful reef and lots of fish.

Later we had more sundowners at Blue Lagoon and watched one of the island's resident Herons - we have named him Wiggy - parading up and down the shoreline. We've decided that he's Dad's spirit reincarnated!


Finally unpacked our bags before dinner. Dinner was fish, veg and rice, followed by tarte tatin. Lost my little torch off the jetty. We then ended up at the lovely Blue Lagoon bar for stargazing and liquer coffees.


Bed at midnight. It was karaoke night in the main bar but after listening to two Germans murdering Herman's Hermit songs we decided not to bother.
