14.14 - Woke up at 07.30 this morning to get ready to go to Robinson Crusoe Island. I had a shower and ate my breakfast but I was then told that my tour had been cancelled. I went over to see if I could go SCUBA diving instead. Unfortunately though, they were going nowhere interesting so hey recommended I did not go. Instead I booked a trip to Malamala, supposedly one of the most beautiful islands. After getting the taxi there, I boarded the trawler like boat and we set off. Almost as soon as we got under way it began raining on what had started out as a nice day. Out in the sea without the harbour wall protecting us, the wind made huge waves that tossed the boat about like a cork. I was sea sick along with a few other people so we decided to turn around and go back. I got another taxi back (breaking his window in the process) and joined in a few games of scrabble and pool. A boring day again but at least this time I have had some pretty cool people to talk to. I got a refund on my tour money as well. I am seriously thinking about not going to Beachcomber Island tomorrow after today's events. In the evening we met some Australians who we gave a right beasting at pool then we took the piss out of them for loosing the rugby World Cup! I was quite drunk again so I had to give up and go to bed in the end. Everyone is changing their flights so they can leave earlier because of the weather. I am going to stick it out though now that there's not long left to go.
I forgot to mention in yesterday's diary about the sign outside McDonald's advertising candlelit dinners for Valentines Day. We were all tempted to go in just to see who in their right mind would take a girl out there!
