Our last day on the island. Garth took a migraine pill in the night so he took it easy. I swapped my Agatha book for a new one called The Rapture of Cannan, which I was dubious about but I actually really enjoyed and spent the whole day reading. I got past page 200 which is a huge record for me!!! I didn't swim the reef today as the waves were big and Garth said the unsettled water made visibility hard. We did see thousands of Sardines fish jump out of the water...

A lovely lazy day. I finished my book and enjoyed the sun and snorkels the reef again. I spent 10 minutes in a school of hundreds of beautiful yellow fish with black stripes. They were eating the coral whilst being shepherded by these larger rainbow coloured fish. Was fascinating! I tried yoga again but I found it a bit boring! Garth felt melancholy today :( We did however enjoy a long conversation with the English family which was lovely!

Another sunny hot lazy day spent in and purifier the water. I hire snorkel gear for the day and spent a good 1.5 hours underwater with Garth. It was MUCH better than Mauritius! The coral was brown and a bit boring, but occasionally there would be bright white or fluorescent purple coral which was hypnotic! There was coral in cabbage shapes, normal shaped coral and some bizarre octopus head-like coral and some spikey coral like the moon from Wallace and Gromits gr...

Happy Easter Sunday!!! The weather today was sunny and HOT!! We were all given a small marshmallow chocolate bunny at breakfast! About 10 of us met at the bar at 9.45 to go to church! We had a 15 minute walk over the hill to the other side of the island. The path became quite muddy and the combination of flip flops, mud and down hill meant I had a classy slip down off the path into some trees. I was ok though and no one laughed too much! The village was rea...

The weather was still overcast and rainy. We had a huge breakfast with omelettes! We chilled and read our books. I had a big burger for lunch. In the evening they did a Kava ceremony where we all sat on a matt in a circle. We had to clap once, say 'Bula' to the group. They said 'Bula' back and clapped three times. This older local guy handed you a coconut cup with the drink in and you drank all of it then clapped three times. The drink tasted like dirty water to ...
