Thursday 3rd July
Inside jobs morning ; Ian and Annie clear and stow all the kit in the spare room in preparation for Alex’s arrival. Stewy polishes the heads! At lunchtime the crew meet up with Phil and Fay at the Island bar where they have arranged to have a lunchtime BBQ to use up the fodder that didn’t get used last-night. A cheery wee BBQ, it’s then fond farewells to Phil and Fay who are leaving for Vanuatu today. It’s a relaxing afternoon – Annie goes for a wander and books a morning dive and an afternoon massage for tomorrow. This is a really lovely place; although it’s a marina within a resort it’s very low key and has a great ambience. Everyone says “bula”, when passing. At night it’s a roasted pig BBQ followed by traditional dancing, the haka and singing. Ian and Annie are good for a change and go home early – Stewy goes to the island Bar with Andreas for a night cap….or two….
