Jesus it's hot here
... this morning and i'm currently waiting again, what does she do in there and has she never stayed at a hostel before? There's only one bathroom for 6 of us, no backpacker etiquette! (and she doesn't even look like she's done anything to herself that could have taken longer than 20 minutes for a normal person) As I was kept awake by the creeping temperature in my room, I headed out to breakfast at 9:30 to discover that even at that time of th morning it is a million degrees. ...

We decided yesterday that we would try to book a scuba with our old friendly Dive In here in PM to try and get Carrie some sort of scuba dive while she was here. But it was so so bloody windy that I didn't even bother waking her up. I had my morning cuppa and decided to take a walk along ...
