Arrrr god I was itching I counted up twenty eight bites, red blotches all over feet, legs, body, arms, hands, back and head the little vampire b******s, I walked to the shop to get some mosquito repellant. Which was a bit of a trek up and down hills but got some for a pound. We then had a wash and went to the beach, the beach that over looked the bay where our hut was had the best beach it was white sand which was powdery, about six huge coconut trees doted aroun...

Sure enough at six the bus came, we got to the port at five to seven and boarded our little boat, it wasn't that busy but there were some freaky deeky Dutch next to us, we dangled our legs over the edge of the boat and hoped the sun would burn through the clouds as it was not yet warm.
