Day something or other - lol no idea!!
Day something or other here in Tobago and things just get better and better.. lol
Weather is changable but always hot which I love. Yesterday was totally brilliant - we went on a boat trip and BBQ, more snorkelling - saw a massive ray and puffer fish and all sorts of others!
The coral reef is stunning and so full of life.. I got a bit burnt the other day so have covered up for 2 days, tan still progressing albeit slowly - been lunch dinner and supper for the mozzies, lol, so resisting incredible urge to scratch! lol I ate food yesterday that was SO delish! At the beach bbq we had barracuda - wow! The flavour was wonderful, had some kind of pea thing and some salad, a small amount of rice, a couple of bits of fresh pineapple and watermelon too. It took me ages to eat, oh, and a piece of BBQ chicken I have to say, I'm not hungry and the heat also helps to reduce appetite I think, but I really enjoyed the lunch. I tried a small cup of rum punch, which went straight to my head so it was right back onto water again! lol I barely had half a cup of the stuff! lol
There was limbo and a conga line and singing and dancing on the white sands... the pelicans were fishing and the fish were swimming around our ankles every time we paddled... I have taken some incredible photos... the place is breathtaking!
Last night I was at Pigeon Point for the evening with one of my sisters friends, playing pool. lol Tomorrow he's teaching me to scuba dive and on whatever the next day is, he's taking me on a dive from the beach... fabby! In my pre-cambridge days there's no way I could have contemplated it! I am SO glad I did this diet!!!!
I am really tired today - yesterday was hot hot hot and fresh sea air and swimming and snorkelling from 10am to 5pm... plus the walking last night too. Am sure that this is doing me the world of good and I love it.
Sis wants me to come back with her in February for the Trinidad carnival and I have to say - right now, if money was no object I would do it! lol But I need to not be swept away with the paradise-like qualities of here, I have to be sensible about life at home too ... so... when I get back and have sorted things out with work etc... THEN I shall make the decision...
I think I can guess what it will be though!
We went to a Batik shop today and I fell in love with some of the clothes - I have a sneaking suspicion that I shall be struggling to get a few items in the case for home!! lol
Got a few prezzies too so far - a very special one for a friend who has a significant birthday fast approaching! Plus a bracelet for my Sarah and some jewellery for me.
Haven't got any postcards yet - it's in my head as a to do! lol Need to sit and write them whilst on the beach methinks!
Right - have come in here to avoid the downpour, lol, and it's finished so time to skedaddle and get back into me bikini and hit the beach for a kip! lol
This holiday is SO what I needed! xxxxxxxxxx
As some here would say when parting ...

another changeable weather day here on the island - so a quick wander up to the internet cafe... sis has spent the day on the other side of the island visiting friends and I've been sitting on the beach and writing my diary and even managed a couple of postcards. lol
Got some pics done on cd (226 to be precise) lol... last night was a scream, we went to the Tobagoan version of opportunity knocks/x factor. The compere was a cross between Tom Jones and Lenny Henry's character Theodopilus P Wildebeat (apologies if name wrong, but you get the idea! lol)... totally mental! He wore a baby blue outfit in that dimpled kind of cotten and loads of huge medallions! The contestants were great sports... one act was a fab African dance troupe and band - incredible! The whole show was filmed for Tobago & Trinidad TV... lol.. at one point they asked for anyone from outside the area so I went up! lol Got 18 bottles of beer!! lol So, as neither sis nor I drink, we gave some away and then stashed the rest in the apartment fridge for guests to enjoy. We are only really spending night time in the apartment and the occassional meal. I took sis out for dinner last night - she had a scrummy rack of ribs and I had chicken salad - again.. lol
We went to the talent show after dinner and then when that finished there was dancing inside. THAT was fantastic! Her friend came and danced with us and ended up walking me back at 3.30am! lol I was all danced out, sis had gone on ahead of me as she had an early start today.
Weather too grey to dive today but have rented the gear and going first thing in the morning. Must go and buy an underwater disposable camera - can't imagine I'm going to get chance to do this again in a hurry!
I've attached some pics to give you an idea of the place thus far.. and of sis and her friend who has taken me under his wing (more like a babysitter really - lol - but hey, I'm not complaining! He's well fit and only 26 and is a very spiritual person (Rastafarian) so it's all good! She trusts him and that's good enough for me.)
Tigger and Dinky are having a great time too !
NOT going to be another 4am bedtime tonight - as up early for diving. Am knackered but feeling great! Eating more than I planned but all healthy stuff and still drinking my packs/making a muffin each day.
Missing home - Zoe has been in hospital with asthma and although they didn't keep her in I'm worried... S has been texting every day, Sarah had a great birthday and mum rang so family are, on the whole, doing well.
Had a bit of a wobbly moment on the beach - very reflective place to be you know... few tears but nothing major. Whilst wondering about the outcome with S am not allowing it to spoil or cloud my holiday.
Roll on tomorrow when I do another 'first' - scuba and wear a wet suit!!!! Thank GOD for this diet!!!!!!!!! (and my lovely Ailsa who is 40 today!!!!!)
Pics are:
Me at Gatwick - dead excited!
Tigger's view from my beach lounger
Sis and me on the Atlantic side of the Island
A pic I took on No Man's Land beach on the BBQ Boat trip
Sis and my babysitter!
