The PADI is completed! Got another 4 dives in the bag, saw turtles and all sorts, and it waspretty cool to indulge in the 'diver life' for a day or two...
Internet is terrible on the island, but can do a quick update. Not much to say about the time doing the course itself - a bit of diving, plenty of cheesy americanised educational films, and you finish the day and crash out pretty exhausted at 4! I finished the 3 days feeling pretty worn out and run down - bit of a nasty throat! Should pass by tomorrow. We had a day to chill out before leaving the island, so we had a bit of beach time, went out on a party boat and had a night out to celebrate.
So bright and early in the morning, Tom and I are heading off to mainland Lombok, travelling down to the ticket office and picking up our tickets for the 48 hour boat across to Sulawesi. Thik we might feel a little delicate by the time we get there! obviously will be very basic conditions, but will let you know when we get to makassar in sulawesi...
Thought I'd let you know that today is my 100th day away from home. Thought that was pretty cool. Still 40 to go!
At this point, I would like to copy in Mum's slightly dramatic reply to my mention of minor health issues:
"Obviously bit worried to hear u are not well so in my mummy way i shall just say that if u think it is more that a basic bug i am not sure u should get on a boat for 2 days. Now might also be the time to say that you don't want to be caught out in indo . If you need to see a doctor u should consider getting yourself to klin malaysia or at least Jakarta. So bear that in mind."
This suggestion, about a slightly sore throat that passed in a day - cancelling all boats and travel plans, and flying to MAlaysia to seek medical assistance.
