We laid in bed and decided we really like this place. It was like being on a holiday rather than backpacking. No worries, no transportation hassles, and no planning or decisions to be made. Today started with a walk along the beach. We found a couple of deck chairs and a parasol to chill in, and chill we did. A whole pineapple was purchased from the fruit lady who chopped it up into bite size chunks. We eventually decided to stroll up the beach with the inten...

Another glorious day awaited us today. Siobh was left in bed while I devoured several mugs of tea in the hammock. Today we decided it was time... Time to hire a scooter. The roads looked good, minimal traffic and very few large vehicles. We had a 125cc Suzuki hired from the owners of our guesthouse. Filled up with fuel and we were off.

I just wish you were all here to share it with us, well, maybe not the bed part lol!
