We’ve been here a week now and got into a strict routine as follows:

10.00 Tea in bed, 11.00 breakfast, read/plan, 14.00 Beer o”clock, chat to fellow travellers who seem to congregate with beers at our table, 19.00 G&T O’clock, scrounge ice from the bar next door, 20.00 food from the myriad of restaurants in ambling distance, 23.00 whisky/wine O’clock, 24.00’sh bed. It’s a tough regime but somebody has to do it!! Don’t they??

Occasionally we fit in a beach walk, we did visit The Rice Museum and we will, eventually, discover the rest of the island. For now, it’s chill and Zack’s guesthouse is a great place to do just that. It’s a very clean and very friendly place where people mix and mingle during the day and night. Handy kitchen for making that all important tea and breakfast in the morning. Zack’s a really nice guy who will do anything for you providing you drink whisky with him at night!

Couple of downsides. Neil lost his wallet. Not much cash but cards are gone and driving licence so just hassle. Neil is now not allowed any more than 10RM pocket money at any one time! The other downside is that Cheryl slipped on the tile floor and is now sporting a rather large and colourful bruise on her bum. Neil helpfully pointed out that having a large, padded bum is no bad thing as the injury could have been worse……Neil is now sporting a neat little bruise on the side of his head!
