Day 7 of Nothing.

As if our days on the island couldn't get more relaxing we added some meditation and yoga into the mix.

In the days previous we had notice this bald European guy setting up his own little yoga spot and inviting people to join him. As we finally decided we would take part, we approach the 'white monk' and asked if we could join. It was a trap. The sign he had put up on the beach never mentioned that he charged a fee but sure enough that was his plan. To draw backpackers in by the illusion of free yoga, get them into a position where they are pretty much doing yoga then introduce the sentence....."Oh by the way, it's 20RM a person guys but we will worry about that later!". Of course we will worry about that later, we thought "You have already left it to later you sly little white monk."

20RM is not a huge a mount of money (about £4) but living on this island budget is pretty tight just on the accommodation, food and water. So now we were trapped and had used up the remainder of our money for the day so we decided to just roll with it. Cross legged and chanting, the meditation lasted about 10 mins then "the white monk" began his torturous regime of body contorting stretches. All the classics then followed Sun Salutation, Warrior, Up and Downward dog and the Cat Positions. Loosie Goosie was an understatement to how we felt afterwards as, quote, "the endless river of relaxation flowed from head to toe and the slight pause between when you breathe out and in, known as true peace, let's us know that our souls are at one with Mother Nature and we realise our position/meaning in life using our flexibility of not only the body but our minds to emit positive energy onto those around us to make a difference." We shook "the white monks" hand and walked away enlightened.

Ohh one other thing...... Today was a day of extreme importance that signified every single one of has being living a lie.

Watermelons can be orange in colour. Who would have thought it. It's true. Today Matt ordered an Watermelon drink, when presented with the orange juice he was ready to return it but decided it would do. After the first sip, Matt look up with utter astonishment as if to say 'How could this be?!?!?'.

Brain Frazzled.
