I woke up to the sound of Dan rolling us a birthday spliff, it was early around 7:30 but i got up and went to the balcony to smoke. We then headed down for our breakfast and i was pleased to see it was a buffet! I loaded my plate with toast, cheese, ham, bacon and pancakes with maple syrup! What a fantastic birthday breakfast! When we could eat no more we grabbed towels from the room and went up to the rooftop, there are only four sun loungers so i was scared the...

I woke up early at around 7:30, grabbed my ipad and card and went to the rooftop bar to book a hotel, sod it. I booked two nights at the Frangipani living arts hotel and spa which cost $80, but you can't put a price on not waking up in a hot guesthouse, plus its my birthday so i deserve it. Dan came up later and we ordered breakfast. It wasn't the best i'd had and not the cheapest but it filled a hole. The strawberry and banana smoothie i got was amazing. We sho...

Day four: When i woke up Dan said he's planned to go to the waterfall on the other island so i decided to have a day by myself on the beach with a beer.

Day three: We welcomed the day with a wake n bake while watching the boats pass up and down the river. We enjoyed yesterdays breakfast so much we decided to go back again but we sat inside this time as the sun really was unbearable. We ordered the same breakfast which was yummy, with even more bacon than last time, and bacon makes me very happy; i didn't think i would be able to get any out here. With our stomachs full we headed onto the beach, this time i decid...
