... day yesterday, Gary opened his pressies in the morning, T-shirt from me and a Mars and Cashew Nuts from Ted, he was well chuffed. After a good breakfast we met up with the other two and hit the beach. As there is an airshow in town we had a few surprises through out the day, one of them was a helicopter landing on the beach next to us, which apart from creating a massive sand storm also sent an inflatable banana boat hurtling out ...

... see loads of English faces sitting around so we sat down for a chat. The topic of conversation as we joined the table was genital warts; the day was now great. George went to Kingston university so we had some chat about Kingston and Oceana etc. We all went to the beach for the afternoon after the storm as it was now blisteringly hot again, and the sea was bath temperature. In the evening we went down the main street and had a curry.

Biggest smiles ever :) Then we all jumped in a Sangtheow back Pakbara and haggled for our speedboat prices from hat lady we'd met earlier in the week. Then the heavens opened and it started ******* it down, and we had to get on the speedboat to Lipe for an hour or so, we all just sat there shivering and soaked and ...

... morning we unzipped the tent and ran straight into the sea. What luxury! After a delicious ands huge breakfast (lots of bacon, to David's delight) we hiked up the hill on the island to see the view. It was not a particularly high hill, but it was hard work in the heat. We saw a monkey trying to open a bottle of water but not succeeding in twisting the lid, rather trying to bite it! At the top we had a great view over the island and the ...
