The sound of the waves is very theraputic even when they are violently crashing just underneath your bed - we slept like logs last night. We slept so well, in fact, that we nearly missed breakfast. Fortunately, we didn't though and managed our coffee fix too. We're a bit out in the sticks, here at Tesero Escondido, and even though we have a kitchen, we brought nothing to cook. If we can't eat at the restaurant, it's at least a 20 minute walk to next closest eater...

The owners of Dolphin Bay Hideaway wanted to go to Playa Bluff for Argentinian BBQ for their 'day off' and all of their guests were invited to join them. We were having to check out and were going to Bluff anyway so it suited us perfectly. The Dutch and German couple from Hideaway joined and we were picking up a Catalan couple from a neighbouring island on the way.

Over breakfast of Hungarian toast (Erika, the owner, is of Hungarian descent) the conversation turns to today's trip - snorkeling - and we decide to join everyone else. Our first stop for snorkeling was Coral Cay, very different to what we...

Maria was feeling much better this morning after a good night sleep but the same couldn't be said for David - he couldn't even hold water down for long. So David stayed in bed whilst Maria went off for breakfast. During breakfast, the gardener came up to say that there were dolphins out in the bay. Maria went rushing down to the room to get the camera and tell David but even dolphins weren't going to get him out of bed today. By the time everyone was at the wat...
