This time I hopped into a catamaran canoe with an outboard motor just before sunrise to go dolphin watching. We headed out to sea where we joined about 40 other canoes, so hardly the peaceful, magical experience! As soon as a fin was spotted all the boats converged like moths to a flame! So more "dolphin harassment" than "dolphin watching"!!!! But at least we were in their territory do they could disappear when they felt like it! Saw a fair few, and some of them jumped and spun. After a quick breakfast I convinced my new best friend, Abdul, to take 4 of us to the reef about half a mile offshore so that we could snorkel. The reef was not much to talk about, quiet bleached, but with the odd blue star fish, however the fish were awesome. Saw a huge turtle too! And at one point Sandi and I were in a huge shoal of fish, Dori's, parrotfish, puffa's, zebrafish and teeny tiny ones of the most vibrant blue. I did panic at one point wondering if they were seeking shelter from something bigger but Abdul assured us there were no sharks! An hours snorkelling - £3.25!
We avoided the beach hawkers, who all seem to know my name?!, and headed to the pool, and the pool side bar! A bit of a shop and it was time to take the excitement levels down a notch, so I whizzed up to a hill side spa for a pedicure.
I had the place to myself! They fed me jasmine tea and papaya and by the end I would have moved in if so could! It cost all of about £6.50, and they even drove me home!
