Managed to get up early and finish off Jeds card with all the birthday messages from the hostel, family and all the friends back home. So when Jed showed up I have him the messages and he read through them, I then did a few hostel things, checking people in booking ferries etc. I then went to check out the local gym and a couple of dive schools as I want to get my open water done soon, I found a couple I likes and will decide soon on which one I'll start with, al...
