Wandered to the East Coast of the Island to check out what all the fuss was about and found kite-surfing heaven – these guys fly across the ocean, some over 10 metres in the air!! It is so windy over there that the palm trees grow sideways into the wind to stop from falling over. Walked back through the bush track and ended up walking through the local village where once again we were starkly reminded of just how much poverty is around us even in this island paradise. Bought some yummy bread and bananas from the local market (less than 25c) and went back for a swim and sunbake in our pool. That night I had a fantastic massage – a combination of Swedish, Thai and Remedial and a few great cocktails while Grahame met up with Andrew (check out his blog – he is a great photographer) at the Juice Bar and got plastered on the local xtra alcoholic beer – Red Horse. Then we met up for an amazing Thai meal and another couple of drinks on the way home when we stopped off to check out the local Metallica-type lookalike coverband.
