Today I only had to work until 12pm as Tracy the lovely Canadian lady I had met yesterday had offered to take me to a famous beach on the other side of the island. I had unfortunately misplaced my camera and spent the whole morning running about trying to find it with no luck. At 9am I started work and first up was varnishing the top of the fence that surrounded Peters balcony. Next I cleaned the three bungalows which basically involved some cleaning, restocking,...

Today is my first day of work in many many months and unfortunately I didn't sleep so well and was up at 5am waiting for the day to begin. I still feel really jet-lagged from my flight and not sleeping certainly hasn't helped. At 9am I started and today I was gardening - pulling out weeds in the flower beds and around the bungalows. To be honest my body hurt a lot whilst doing it and I certainly don't have any of the strength I used to have whilst going to the gy...

At 7am I headed to the local morning market only to find one woman selling fish and being told to return around 9am when there would be more people selling. I ...

After just 3 hours sleep I was up to do my exercises, eat breakfast and make my way to the bus station to get a transfer to the airport. At 5:30am I left the house and was able to take a bus and then the Metro to the central station where I could then get a connection to the Airport. I could have taken an airport shuttle and it would have been much simpler but by catching public buses I managed to save myself over $10. The whole journey went very smoothly and I a...
