Simon & Caroline's World Tour 07/08

Today was all about chilling out on the beach. Long beach may not actually be that long and it may not be the most deserted beach but it is still a pretty perfect place to spend the day. So we found ourselves a spot under an umbrella, lathered on the sun-cream and just soaked up the sun, read, soaked up the sun some more and soaked ourselves in the sea every now and then to cool off. Occasionally we moved ourselves to go and satiate our tummies somewhere (found a new favourite drink; fruit shakes, basically just ice blended with fruit but so yum, especially in this heat).

And of course we indulged in a bit of our new favourite beach hobby; snorkelling. The water here is a perfect clear turquouise and there are two excellent snorkelling spots on this beach, one at each end. There is such a huge variety of pretty, muti-coloured fish to see as well as the interesting coral that you can easily spend ages just swimming around and marvelling at it all (unfortunately, the resulting snorkel face is not such a good look!).

Si helped me to find a Nemo so I was happy and of course he's got his new favourite hobby; underwater photography so he's happy. All in all, everyone's happy and it was a pretty perfect day (just in case you are not jealous enough; we enjoyed beer / cocktails on the beach after sun-down.... Mmm :)
