Who could resist just a few more days relaxing on the coast of the carribean. We came with the intention of scuba diving cause we heard it was really cheap here, but then we found 'the shack'. We were doing the general accomodation search and everywhere seemed 'decent' at best. So far the best option was a creepy french guy who suspiciously invited me to share a place with him and his girlfriend for free (how do you spell menage a twà). Then we randomly met some lady who asked us if we needed a place to stay. She started hiking us up this massive hill and led us to this little wooden shack with panoramic views of the village, beach and cove. We took it immediately (both because it was lovely and because we couldn't be stuffed lugging all our stuff back down the hill) and spent the next couple of days just sittin on the balcony and sucking up the atmosphere, as well as a rum or two.

Unfortunately we had to leave the shack every now and again because apparantly food is necessary for survival and we'd use these outings to visit the beach, enjoy the local catch of the day and catch a bit of sun (figure it would be nice to have a bit of colour before we visit england and get a healthy british tan). We also met a bunch of other travellers who we would always invite up to the shack for a rum and who would invite us around to theirs with the intention that we'd say "oh no, come visit our place".

The only form of activity we did here was one big night out where every traveller we'd met so far went out to this 'club' which was basically someone's backyard with a patio that was used as a dancefloor. But that closed pretty soon so we went to some house party, then the persons who house that was fell asleep so we went to the roof of someone else's house. Before we knew it the sun had been up for a good hour and we're all still having shots. I don't know what it is about this continent but every bloody night out only seems to end when people realise "oh crap the suns up, i should probably get some sleep". Serves for some good nights though.
