tea time

at the moment i'm sitting in a tea lounge and everything is quiet except for the torrential tropical rain outside - there's no windows so if i stick my right arm out far enough then it'll be soaked through in around ten seconds. my mum has just returned from the shop with some more nutmegs, a little grater, a bracelet and a new lighter, fascinating stuff.

today is the day of the wedding so it's a real shame it's pouring down - especially as it's going to be on the beach! hopefully the rain will blow over in a couple of hours, at the moment its ten past twelve and the wedding starts at four, so, fingers crossed everything will be fine.

yesterday was wicked, we went round most of the island in the morning including the rain forest with a crater lake and monkeys, a waterfall and a nutmeg processing plant, awesome. we had to rush through lunch to be on the dive boat at two where we headed out for two locations to snorkel and scuba. the first was amazing and i was surrounded twice by shoals of tropical fish. the second was an underwater sculpture park which was good but the figures were at times really creepy!

home tomorrow, in all honesty i'm missing it.

when i go away to really hot places one of the things i always end up missing the most is carpet... strange huh?!
