A Very Close Shave...
So I found out about this tsunami that's swept across Southeast Asia. With one or two exceptions everyone I know's accounted for, thankfully. Death toll's rising with every news flash. Funny how I can be so close to such a catastrophe and not be aware of it at all.
All I can say is the news really put a downer on my otherwise delicious breakfast. Today was a chillout day, and so we sauntered in to town where Jo showed me the greatest bar in the world, Happy Daze. You can get anything you want there. And I mean anything. Two grass shakes coming up! And Hez and I then spent the next 10 hours stumbling around in a bit of a state. We ate, lay down, swam, ate, watched GI Joe cartoons (if you haven't already seen them, then click here - it's funny), and generally laughed a lot.
By the time we'd recovered, we were drunk and ready for bed. Everyone else has a dive course starting tomorrow...
