We All Got Ready For Our Next Splash Around,

by now we were all sort of getting the hang of things,

 so all set,

with plenty of bread for the fish,

and off we go!

for this swim,

Sandio is in charge of the bread,

eyes down and look in,

to be honest I have rather lost track of which island we were moored to,

anyway leave the land camera behind,

and start using the underwater one,

all together now,

and they are off,

we very soon found a few colonies of sea anemones, 

with clown fish,

as well as damsel fish in attendance,

Diana all smiles,

as she watched our guide,

blow air rings underwater,

we came up for a quick look around,

then back under we went,

Sandio was also enjoying himself,

our guide then pointed some thing else out on the seabed,

which he brought up for to have a look at,

at first it looked like a lump of rock,

but I knew what it was,

though I am sure that Dioshane and Diana did not,

or Sandio,

it was a clam,

so a quick pose and back he went,

we had another look around,

and found a few more sea anemones,

we then used up the last of this packet of bread,

keeping clear of the sea urchins,

some more Christmas Tree Worms,

a last look at some green hard coral,

then swim over back on board,

a quick wash off with fresh water,

I have handed the camera to Diana,

then my turn for a fresh water wash,

before moving on we just had to give the fish a quick feed from the boat,

 we then made a move to another island, next 'hand me the camera please' 

 and we were off again,

 all looking to see what we would see next,

 another loaf of bread for the fish,

 our guide making another free dive,

 and blowing some more bubble rings,

 then time for some more fish feeding,

 the fish just love it,

 and Diana just loves feeding them,

 I chanced upon this sponge,

 look, no hands!

 we surfaced again,

 as our guide wanted to show us some thing,

 he had brought up a piece of hard coral,

 which was fascinating,

 as Dioshane and Sandio had never seen a live coral before,

 so a quick breather,

 then down again,

 to look at some more larger examples of corals,

and a aggregation of sea urchins,

swim over, one of the crew had been catching his supper,

catch of the day,

this was our last stop for the day,

there are lots of fish here,

but we decided not to go for a swim,

so I took a few pictures of Dioshane,

and Diana,

we went for a walk to the restaurant,

for an ice cream and a drink,

we made a new friend,

two of then in fact,

then back to the boat,

everyone all smiles,

till it came to walking the plank!

whilst we were on shore the crew had prepared a snack, 

then the race was on to get home,

before the other boats,

we made our way up the long,

and twisty road,

which eventually flattened out a little,

and arrived back at the hotel for a quick swim,

lots of happy faces,

we then made our way to the beach,

for another seafood supper,

with kebabs of course for non seafood fans,

whilst waiting for our drinks I looked at this table lamp, running I guess on paraffin, it just looked so neat,

so now off to pick our food,

a couple of drinks whilst we waited,

a strawberry shake for Sandio,

plenty of room at this restaurant as well,

a glass of red wine for myself,

then our food started to arrive,

prawns with a sweet sauce,

ribs and corn cobs,

with garlic bread,

beef and chicken kebabs,

plus a grilled fish and squid,

there was so much food we nearly did not finish it,

but we did!

a little further along the beach some one sent a hot air lantern aloft,

then a taxi home,

'Ah!',

although it was by now late and we had a tiring day, there was no walking past the football table, 10 games later though we did decide to stop as we had another early start tomorrow, so for us we were all off to bed.
