3days relaxing in a row wasn't my thing, I was getting twitchy. I knew there was much more of the island to see so I got my hands on a kayak, took a map of the island and headed out to sea. I loved how easy it was to get hold of one. James was scuba diving so my next partner is crime was the Essex princess (who doesn't like the sea) jodi also joined me. We headed west and moved around the island and there was so many beautiful yet secluded beaches on route. Made ...

Yesterdays action packed day was such a relaxing success we did it again today. Some others even joined us. That evening we ate well and i got far to carried away with the drinking.

Thats when you have you have to much nitrogen in your blood and you go f***in loopy. Very funny to watch. Non of us did go loopy tho, we were completely fine and it was a cool experience going that de...

Usual scuba diving starts at 7:30am. This dive was about finding particular fish and working on advanced skills like an emergency stop, hovering upside down and developing your breathing skills. This was a great session cos we got to take cameras with us and snap our whole underwater experience. My buddy that day was a big Swedish fella. A good diver who loved this muay Thai boxing so he dragged me to a training session the evening. Thai trainers basically make...
