... it. Seeing how calm the bus driver was just makes the case even stronger. <br><br>We picked up some school kids on the way back. The first little guy to get on was really tiny. Don&#8217;t think he had any money. The bus driver wanted to know where his mum was so she could work out where to drop him off. Not sure she could get anything out of him so when all the other kids had got on she asked back down the bus &#8220;Where&#8217;s the boy in red going ...

... br><br>We walked - why swim when you can walk? - right across the lagoon to the motu across from the pole house. It never got over our shoulders although I was on tippy toes a couple of times. The water varied between Thailand-warm and everywhere else warm. Was great fun. Was fantastic to have a camera we weren&#8217;t concerned about getting wet.<br><br>When we&#8217;d morphed into giant prunes (Al was only medium sized) we realised ...

... in full technicolour ending only yards away from our balcony - unfortunately the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, was oh so close, but oh so far!

It also includes swimming lessons, and Stephanie and I earned the titles of "swimming instructors" last week. The island bus picks up the 5-9 year old clan at the school and hops ...

... spent a pleasant hour or two lounging by the pool trying unsuccessfully to read and not doze off. In the afternoon we enjoyed an amusing movie- 'License to Wed' starring Robyn Williams. The show tonight called 'Save the last dance' was the first production by the Princess entertainers. What an energetic bunch of young people they are, and how polished a performance of song and dance they entertained us with. The only problem we have with these shows is that the theatre holds about ...
