... then Jackpot the Man U game followed live (which we won!!!) and Gary watched all of this with only a bottle of water......some would say impossible....but it happened (am I not allowed to mention beach balls to the Liverpool supporters).<br><br>And finally we had a massive storm, thunder that shook the room ....never heard one like it before anyways we woke up in the morning to 17 Navy ships in our bay, they had been on maneuvers and had come to shelter ...

... The TV room, relaxing. Here is free tea and coffee relaxing. You can take a mat to the beach for more relaxing..All relaxing here." <br><br>Eddy himself doesn't seem to do much relaxing other than watching European soccer highlights on satellite TV at night. The first day here he plucked green coconuts from one of the trees on the property and showed the guests how to chop them open, drink the milk and ...

... our breakfast and left straight away at 9am. Not the best idea . <br>Rachael gets very sea sick and the new sickness arm bands were bugger all use after 15 minutes... when the first puke occurred over the side of the boat. Another puke by Rach, one by Chris (a first for being sea sick!) and no fish later we arrived back at Japamala by 10am, feeling a bit embarrassed and worse for wear. <br><br>Staying in the jungle ...

Around Tekek they have started to destroy the shore by paving stretch of road of a couple of kilometers with the intention to make an esplanade.

... electricity cables and you'll be ok, about fifty minutes. This turned out to be pretty accurate, apart from the time-frame.

... and rucksacks were strewn in an abandoned way on the bow of the ferry and we found seats inside. On this crossing, passengers were not allowed outside, which gives some idea of the conditions &#8211;I thought it was ok, if a little bumpy, Sara thought it was horrendous. Our seat partner was a Kiwi, sharing enthusiastically in our cricket performance against Australia. He was obviously an extremely wealty man, with strings of show-jumping horses, and first-hand knowledge ...

<br><br><br> <br> <br> <br> <br><br>We both woke up<br>really excited thismorning as we get to go for another dive woo hoo.<br>Bryden was a bit nervous because he has a cold and the book says not<br>to dive with a cold as it is hard to equalize but we decided that he<br>can only try. Our first dive today was peak performance bouyancy. We<br>got to manouver through hoops, hover off the bottom in many positions<br>including our heads. We also got ...

<br><br>Decision,<br>decisions, decisions, we are undecided whether or not to stay and do<br>our advance diving course or move on. We have been hanging out with<br>some really cool people and they all say we should do it but it means<br>spending more money and time on tioman???????
