We were up fairly early again and I went for another lovely early morning swim in the sea before breakfast.

We chilled on the beach for a bit and had our photo taken with our challenge t-shirts on.

As we laid on the beach some of the local dogs came along and one of them befriended us and laid down with us.

We went to out now local restaurant for a delicious breakfast of muesli and fresh fruits. After breakfast we decided to go exploring. We were looking for the local ‘zoo’ and we did find it but it was closed as we are still in low season. But we had a stroll through the jungle anyway.

We walked over to the next beach known as Police beach which is where they have a party most nights. It wasn’t as clean or as nice as the beach we were staying on.

As we were walking along one of Ali’s flip flops broke so she had to walk bare foot. Then when we were on police beach one of mine got washed away by the sea! So I had one of Ali’s and one of mine to walk home in and they were both the left foot.

On the way back to ours we stopped at a little bar for a beer.

In the afternoon we chilled some more on the beach.

We had booked to swim with the plankton in the evening so at 7pm we got on the boat and went out to one of the other islands where there was no light pollution. The plankton light up when you splash in the water but it’s really hard to capture on a photo. If you used a snorkel it looked like loads of fairy lights under the water and they were all around you – it was pretty amazing. I spent a lot of time under the water just watching the plankton light up – they were mainly a green or yellow colour.

This isn’t my photo above but this is kind of what they looked like.

After our little boat trip we went back to our restaurant for dinner. My little friend was there too.

After a glass or two of wine it was off to bed.
