It is pretty here,
in this little bay off Ao Chalong. Panwa
Beach might look nice…at high tide… But at low tide it is lethal. We formed a plan for me to go in, with Pete driving
the dinghy in close, and me wading jauntily in the shallows, so that I could find
an ATM and a phone top up place. Bad plan…what
could possibly go wrong? Well what went wrong
was I jammed a foot between some coral outcrops and fell in the water…with BOTH
of my phones…

My iPhone – precious
and dear to my heart – is fine, but my little blue Nokia is deadibones. I am in Chalong right now, sipping restorative
coffee in a nice little café and trying to find a place to get it fixed. So far I have been told to go:
up the street 200
meres
down the street
150 metres
up the same street
100 metres
and so on…
Which is why I am sitting
in a nice cool café sipping coffee…

As for my own
wounds…well my left knee is a sorry sight, and I have quite a few other scrapes. Coral wounds are nasty; so far all is
well. I had a shower immediately, with
lots of soapy water, and then Pete washed my wounds with diluted Dettol.

More re all of

Oh no!!! Coral is painful. I walked behind a grumpy lady along a coral beach in Vanuatu who was mumbling "Not MORE of this coral sh**"
