Our first accommodation was in one of four rather posh tents, although the first night was rather marred by a plague of insects above Nic's side of the bed which, after spraying with repellant, proceeded to drop dead and fall on him all night! In the morning all was forgotten as we were served a fab breakfast in the sunshine whilst the locals shinned up the palm trees in the garden to ensure that coconuts didn't rain down on us too. A lazy day on the beach followed, Nic managing to sit still for almost a whole day. So that was Carolyn's one restful day of 80 ticked off…….
The next day we moved down the road a few kilometres to a brand new tented resort run by the same group. All went reasonably well until it unexpectedly started to pour down that evening and water started to flood into the tents. Other problems became apparent the next day with the aircon and hot water, resulting in the manager deciding that he would have to close the resort and get everything sorted out. In the meantime
we were asking if we could stay another night!
The location is by a great beach where we have been doing some body boarding, there are some fantastic restaurants (including one serving our first beef for 10 weeks as well as the expected fish) and we had a brilliant day out exploring on a hired scooter, not quite the vintage Royal Enfield 500cc Bullet Nic has been fantasising about but hell……we passed paddy fields, ruined Portuguese forts and churches and deserted golden beaches.
On our last morning we got up early to witness the impressive teamwork that is bringing in the nets. Sadly the haul was rather disappointing for the effort expended.
