Last nights BBQ pretty good. With all bbq's, the food took a little longer than expected but Simon did a splendid job. I don't quite know how he did it, as it was so hot, we were all moaning about the heat. He is amazing!!! ..plus earlier on in the day, he'd made a delicious potato salad.
We'd invited a few folk over to join in the festivities, Tim, Steve, Linda and Chinese Mark who isn't actually Chinese, he just speaks it.
This morning I woke at a reasonable time and ventured upstairs to find Si at the kitchen sink, washing up. We had no water last night, so we were unable to tidy up/wash up. It always happens at the most inconvenient times.
Anyway, today we hired Crystals newest addition, a little fishing boat which you can hire out and go snorkeling/diving on. With just 2 crew and the 6 of us, we set off around the island stopping at a few bays as and when we fancied. The first bay we decided to stop at was 'Hing Wong' At first we all went for a bit of a snorkel and then Simon and I took Chris for a dive.

'Tanote Bay' was our second port of call. No diving this time but we all snorkeled. Tanote Bay has a huge rock which you can climb and then jump off, roughly 10 or so meters high. We saw a few hesitant jumpers and Chloe even managed to see a naked one.
Our Final stop was 'Pottery' a lovely and unappreciated dive site. It's very shallow and an ideal location to take Fiona and Chris for a lovely dusk dive. We saw an incredible amount of life. Moray Eels, Puffa Fish, Trigger Fish, Blue Spotted Sting rays to name but a few
I knew that the girls, especially Chloe were eager to drive the boat, so when Suk (the captain) handed the ship over, with very little instruction ..we were all very nervous and ever so impressed :-D

Then it was time to head back... grab a Singha beer... and retire all very very tired...!
