Ive got loads to write but im just waiting on the taxi/pick up truck to take us to the full moon party so depending on how long that is will dictate how much i get through!
This island is amazing, the food is great and costs about 2 squidder for a full on meal, OLLER style!
Weve all gathered again in the same place more or less and had few additions, two girls that are on a gap year the same as me and a guy that just sacked off work for a bit to go travelling and since he's a carpenter can just pick it up again when he goes home! there tends to me between 7 and 10 of us trotting about depending on who is 'elsewhere'
the build up to the full moon is brilliant, we've gone down to the beach fri sat and sun and its just gets busier, tonight is going to be horrific!
On saturday, one fo the girls im with lost her wallet so my hpone bill is going to be a bit on the large side since i let her use it to sort it all out, a good job though since the bank said someone had already tried to use her credit card, and another guy went in the sea with his phone, and niether were me, fantastic!
i ended up just staying down at the beach while she sorted all that and watched the sun come up and went for paddle in the sea, there are some stunning photos...of me! No i mean the sunset really!
we got back about 7 and she made me sleep on the beach with her but then went inside after half an hour and left me in the sun, i woke up at half ten with my hands on my chest. when i got up, my hands are still on my chest, yes i have two nice white hand prints across my front which is just getting more prominent the longer i stay in the sun.
To be honest, no jealously required, my tan is the poorest excuse you cna imagine, ive got cuts and bruises all over my legs from falling off tables, two hand prints on my front and the odd white line where my arm fat creased and a selection of other clothes marks! Good!
Got a moped yesterday and we all went for a cruise to find the waterfall for a nice chill out in the cold water, could not have been further from the truth.
we hiked up the mountain to find it, following signs that said 'waterfall 200m'. 3000m later there was a sign that said 'waterfall 200m' that aside we found a viewpoint that you could see across the island from. honestly though, ive never sweated more, i tihnk it was my work out for the next four months!
needless to say we never found the waterfall because its the dry and ridiculously hot season so all we had to make do with a puddle to sit in!
took the mopeds down to had rin to go to the beach again, i was only going for a bit because i'd booked a boat trip for this morning. drove my moped up and round this ridiculous hill of a road and, goodbye, in the gutter i went, scratched all the side of the bodywork, excellent! anyway, all was fine, including me. i just parked it at the end of the road so the hotel wouldnt see and two of the girls took it to a repair shop and flirted for a bit. 15 quid it cost to replace the whole casing, i think we get ripped off on parts at home!
didnt stay at the beach long, i was a bit gutted about the moped, (why me?) but mostly didnt want to conk today so had a mixed fruit shisha at this proper cool little bar with floor seat and little tables and it played reet good minimal music it did, had a bit of dance, sweated some more and came home. oh and had an iguana on my head!
the boat trip was good, went snorkeling, swimming at such like, had some more good food, oysters, mussels and champers(slash fizzy spanish wine) and just chilled out and met some more people. i tried swimming to the beach at one point after calling everyone else fattys for not wanting to. 10m in and the aching in my arms reminded me how unfit i am so i turned back!
rite, im off to join the other 20000 people on the 800m of beach.
