I'm going to church tomorrow evening. I have never been to a church service in my life and I'm going for the first time tomorrow. Not exactly by choice. In the hospital this morning there was a patient who had been in a fight. I felt she was being judged a little harshly, so when she left the room I said 'we don't know what the other person is like (the person shes had a fight with) so who are we to judge her'. The doctor then looked at me and asked what church I...

So we have just returned from 8 hours on a boat trip. Kelly and I are both now a bit sunburnt. My legs compared to everyone else's look like I has relatives that aren't quite White British anymore. But the day overall was fanstatic. Snokerlling in two locations, I wasn't a fan of the second as there were lots of little jelly fish (that apparently were harmless but I didn't like my chances); swimming at other secluded beaches, a beach BBQ and the nylon pool at sun...

I'm glad it's Friday as that means the weekend. We are going on an all day boat trip round the island tomorrow which includes snorkelling, fishing, rum punch and a BBQ on a random island.

I started the beach trip with an iced mocha which has to be a good start. It w...

Another few uneventful days. Hospital in the morning followed by lounging on the beach. It's a hard life!

Only 11 more placements to go. The beach is it's usual relaxing habitat. Except yesterday I thought my forearms could beat the Caribbean sun without any suncrea...

Today another fun filled morning in the hospital followed by the beach. The hospital was ok, pretty standard bits and bobs. The usual return back to the apartment to be faced with ants, this time all over the clean washing up. Fabulous. We were meant to be treating ourselves to a pizza hut take away. We phoned at 5.30pm to check they delivered to where we are they did. We phoned back at 7.10 to make an order to find out they closed at 7. Our pizza dream was sha...
