<- A tropical fish lodges itself in nialls snozz Even the trees go for a snorkel! ->







Lots of snorkelling, island hopping and sunburn. Like muppets we spent too much time watching the tropical fish, the spinny sea urchins, the colourfull coral and the star fish to pay attention to our exposed legs. We trekked through on eof the islands and found a ”secret” beach and chilled for a while. On the way back a we were joined by a colourful companion – a butterfly who seemed to follow us down the path. We joked that it was the island Westworld controllers sending their animatronic fauna to please the visitors and that they were probably right now arranging for more white sand to be spread on the artificial beach. In fact when we got back to the main beach area a team of locals was sweeping the sand of unwanted flotsam and jetsam - which was nice.

The town nite-life wasn’t really up to much as it was out of season but we did hang around the busy promenade for a few nites. We missed the Ireland/England rugby match due to a mix up in dates – JL again. On one night we found a bizare little band on keyboards and guitar with a dodgy lead female singer crooning to a handfull of night-trippers. Another night we went down to walk trough the bussling filipino market but got slightly put off hanging around by the large rats hanging around. Indstead we found a second story bar balcony and watched the 2 legged variety of nightlife scurry around below us. The next day we were to travel a few hours to climb some little hillock in the country side... easy peezy lemon squeezy!

A big fan of sunsets - >
