Final day in florida is over. Now a day of travelling to Miami, a flight to Trinidad and then over to Tobago to look forward to. I can't believe how fast my two weeks in Florida have gone. I've has a fantastic time and still have problems grasping the fact that I've spent two weeks lying in the sun reading books! If someone had said 4 years ago that in 4 years time you'll be a final year medical student spending your summer in florida and Tobago I would never hav...

So today has been another horrifically stressful day in Florida. A morning on the beach, a quick trip to walmart for some tobago supplies and now an afternoon by the pool. I'm getting very used to doing very little with my life and it's blissful! The beach this morn was lovely as usual. The weather was a bit overcast so the sun wasn't as burning as it has been but it was still lovely. The sea was rather wavy which made swimming a little more exciting (I am still...

For the record, American sausages aren't very nice. The breakfast was followed by my first trip to walmart. They sell everything, and most of it cheap! Aussie shampoo which is expensive in England is well cheap. So yes, I bought some essential toiletries to prepare for tobago, an extra...

I truly think I've seen some of the most stunning coast ever today. The morning was spent on one of kellys pare yaks boats sailing around the gulf of Mexico...as you do on a friday morning! Te scenery was beautiful and the white sandy beach we pulled up to (only accessible by boat) was one of the highlights. It looked more like something I've seen on tv! The rest of the trip involved numerous dolphins, again a fascinating scene and also a manatee. The intercoasta...
