The doctors say the bandages can come off tomorrow....

The sun and other tabloid newspapers often used inappropriate headlines such as this to draw readers in to read fairly mundane articles....and this is the approach the I have used today. Not that today was mundane....but there was plenty of Sun!

After yet another restless night of only 9 hours sleep, we woke to another day of blue skies (is there more than one sky?) and warm temperatures.

After a light breakfast of muesli and orange juice (I had a less than light breakfast of egg, bacon tomatoes, hash browns & mushrooms) we went out for a short walk, convincing waiting taxi drivers along the way that we didn't want to take a trip in their very reasonably priced taxi, on what we were sure were very pleasant tours - we just WANTED TO GO FOR A WALK! Thank you.

After our brief sojourn, we spent the afternoon perfecting our burns/tan with a combination of sunabathing and snorkelling. The sea was quite rough, but I generally managed to bob around on the surface for a reasonable period of time and long enough to see huge shoals of fish of varying sizes and colours. One shoal that we both saw, numbered in excess of 150 fish which were this big......


.....sorry for the short delay, I just hit Teresa in the head when I was showing you how big the fish were!

Anyway, they eventually put the yellow flag up, indicating that if you continued you were swimming at your own risk - little did they know that I am always swimming at my own risk, and for that matter anybody close to me who I might grab hold in an effort to stay afloat!!!

In the evening we had another fantastic meal (Dinner dance again...and Gladys was there. This time she led all dancers in a small conga to a Portugese rendition of "...Is this the way to Amarillo?) in the poshest of the 3 restaurants, where I had to borrow a tie to meet the requisite dress code.

More tomorrow......
