We all had a late one last night so none of us rose before midday! Went out to get a sambo and a drink and found a really cheap surf shop where we spent a couple of hours looking around and all of us bought a healthy bag of stuff for half nothing, only problem is not I have to decide what to throw away so the new stuff fits in my bag! Sun bathed again by the spa in the hostel for a few hours and read some more of Bransons autobiography. We got free vouchers for a...

Just back from a great days fishing........ we were shaken out of our beds early this morning by a girl shouting 'help' in the carpark so obviously me fionn and mark jumped to the damzel's aid!

Turns out they were all the owners of an IT company and were celebrating the end of a successful financial year. They ...

Lazed around the hostel til mid afternoon, the sun has disappeared but its still v v humid. Went to an amazing outdoor market, down by Mindil Beach this evening with Veronica and her mec Jerry. It had every type of freshly cooked food you can think of and quite a hippy feel to it. watched a lovely sunset against the beach again and then sat and listened to a guy play guitar, he had a really unique haunting voice, and ate our food. Strolled back from the market to...
