WOW! What a day!!

Bandos Island Resort and Spa
Me at Kuda Bandos
Kuda Bandos
I had an early start this morning as I was heading over to a local uninhabited island.  The island was truly amazing.  I had all day to do whatever I wanted. I spent most of the day in the water snorkelling of course. I pretty much snorkelled the perimeter of the island, which I'm pretty sure no one else did.  The snorkelling was great, on parr with the great barrier reef.  The only down side was that as it was off the beach it was very shallow until you got to the shelf. This means I've got some nasty coral scratches. :( However, it was a great day and I got to hang out as a tourist.

Put sunblock on sooooo much but still managed to get a little burnt (even if I was wearing long sleeve rash vest and  long tights.. hot look I know) Met a local from the island who took me snorkelling and paid particular (unwanted by me) special attention to me.  I also managed to score some free food which was also a bonus! Before leaving we fed the fish and it was amazing to see how many fish there were. 

I caught the boat back via a tourist resort and spent a few hours there while waiting for my next boat.  I wandered around and had a sneaky swim in their pool which was rather nice.  Sat on the beach and watched the sun set.  Lots of people at the resort, mainly honeymooners, but also lots of families which I was quite surprised!   Both the resort and the uninhabited islands were amazing.  The pictures I have taken really do not suffice.   Well I think that will do for the time being... exhausted after my big day and have another early start tomorrow.  Not sure when I'll be getting back on here as I'm going to the island tomorrow and no idea what will happen with internet. Will upload a few pics to make you all jealous!! :)
