Monday 23rd September
Exhausted!
2XS is soon to
be a place of slumber…and it is only 7.40…
We got up early
and gathered on the Lovina beach at 7.30, to make our way to an 8-seater bus
with our rallyfriends Irina, John, Yanina, Lochie, Craig, Denis. We went for two hours to the north-west tip
of Bali. Then onto a solid blue wooden
boat for thirty minutes, heading along a beautiful island - Deer Island, in
Balinese.
We did two
dives. And now we are…exhausted…
It was fabulous
and beautiful and everyone was kind, helpful, wonderful. I freaked a bit, on our first dive, because I
had forgotten EVERYTHING except how to breathe (constantly, in-out-in-out,) and
how to swim.
There are not
many photos because…my camera battery ran out quick smart.
But there is a photo
of a local cat/kuching/meow. And one of Pete,
Craig (father) Lochie (son) – new Best Friends for us, from Gemini II, from
Australia.
Oh and I suppose
I should include a photo of beautiful Irina, with me, both of us looking
moderately insane, the other night, pre-dive… She was a joy and a delight on
our trip, our eccentric Siberian Girl.
I was not such
a joy or delight…I didn’t want to do the second dive but our new BFFs were so kind
and ecnouraging, as was our dive master
that I pulled on
my wetsuit and went back in…and it was GORGEOUS!! We went down to 24 metres, along a lovely wall,
full of fabulous corals, and delightful fish.
And now it is
time for…SLEEP!
