... to Rhonda and her advice, we also visited St Nicholas Abbey, which was lovely&#8230;..and in the evening treated ourselves to dinner at The FishPot (excellent) after lunch at Nanika (no wonder we piled on the pounds this holiday)!<br><br>All in all, a most relaxing and enjoyable end to our Caribbean adventure&#8230;..the R&amp;R necessary to ensure a calm approach to our 44 hour journey back here to Surabaya!

... going to Cuba and making a raft - anything to just get onto American soil. People were fighting to get whatever ticket they could. I was trying to avoid doing that but left it a little too late. So if I was going to be buying a ticket to get anywhere next week I may as well go to Canada, as that part of my itinerary is set whereas nothing was booked for the US. The nice guy at the AC desk ...

This is my third day trying to get out of the island on standby. I was 38/47 on the list earlier. So many families of staff members using their tickets for holiday.. It's insanity. It seems to be impossible to get out of the Caribbean right now! Hopefully I'll figure out something soon, otherwise I may have to cancel parts of my itinerary.. :(

... the church that dated almost five hundred years ago. It was kind of creepy walking all around them, but this is what made the whole place intriguing and captivating. <br><br>We stopped for while along the ocean to admire big huge boulders right on the shore. It was absolutey beautiful seeing them. <br><br>Our next stop was at the Highland Adventure Center where we sipped a complimentary soft drink. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the view once ...

... is so beautiful. I just couldn't believe my surroundings. At the bottom of the ocean, the corals were spectacular. Words cannot describe beauty. You have to see it to believe it. What a fantastic experience that I am not about to forget soon.<br><br>After the snorkel off we went to another beach where we relaxed and swammed for a while before returning to the ship. <br><br>Thankful for snorkeling,<br><br>Mo

... and even headphones, were all being sold onboard. Luckily we had been well fed beforehand, so didn't need to pay for airline food, I'm sure that would be some kind of sin. ;) Landing in Barbados, for some strange reason I wrongly assumed they would use US dollars here, after the public phone had chewed up 50 cents, I realised my mistake and changed course for the tourist office Here they were nice enough to let me call our accommodation to organise picking up ...

... events have alcohol here...it's amazing. When we got back the seniors were supposed to have dinner for us at 8pm but it ended up being after 10 when we finally got to eat and then we were starving. It was nice to have a semi-warm meal prepared for us though. Classes started Monday and they don't seem like they will be too bad. I'm taking Developmental Psych, Criminology, Sociology of Tourism and Fundamentals of Music. My music class only has 7 people in it and 3 of us are from ...

I suppose I can only attribute my lack of updating my travelogue to my new found "island time." Everything here runs on this system, if you can even call it a system, of absolute relaxation. I've always considered myself somewhat laid back, go with the flow, but I've come to discover that I'm not, not at all. I like structure and a system that functions efficiently. I've had to deal with teachers not showing up to class, lack of ...

... so we gave it a wide berth and skedaddled out of there. On our way back we passed the field of the first 'Roo-Sighting' and although it had only been 10 minutes, the field and the road was awash with them, all enjoying a good old roo rave-up. A few kilometres along the road was Bateman's Bay, a fairly large town on the coast with its very own little harbour bridge that spans the Clyde River. We pulled into Easts Riverside Park and fell in love with a parking space ...
