Day 47 – Broken…..

Don’t know where last night ends and this morning begins. Lack of sleep plus starting to feel hungover is not a good combination.

Once we finally made it back to the hotel a shower was very much needed to get this body paint off as it was becoming annoying by this point.

Few hours sleep and we began to feel human again. We decided to go for a walk and grab some food before sitting next to the beach and catch up on the days of the blog we had missed.

Seeing the sun was starting to set we decided to hire some paddle boards to go out and watch it from the water. It was my first time on a paddle board and Becky had done it before in the Carribbean so in my eyes she was a pro. What a laugh it was…….no issue getting on to the board or standing up the issues came when trying to paddle standing up and keeping your balance. I was in water in a matter of seconds. My foot gave way and that was it straight in. Started to get the hang of it so we attempted to go further out test the limits! The next thing I hear is a scream from Becky as her board caught some rope and she ended up in the water too. As I turned round to see and have a chuckle I fell off too. Typical. Becky was in stitches by this point.

We continued further out and by this point I was on my knees paddling as it was SO MUCH EASIER to control and not fall in. The next job was to “try” get photos with the sunset and on our boards. I was first to go and as you can see it didn’t go well ………

ecky’s attempt went much better but I couldn’t work the camera thinking there was water in it when there was just water on the lens😒 Although once I got the hang of it with the camera Becky was then unable to control her board and started going around in circles. I had to laugh finally the pro was having issues and it was me that was doing well (even though I was still on my knees by this point). The tide was beginning to change so we thought it was best to head back to shore plus the sun was setting quickly which meant we had less light. Could have been interesting us amateurs paddle boarding in the dark! We attempted standing up once again to come back to shore like pro’s but we didn’t realise a boat had past behind us and kicked up some waves. Yip that was me back in the sea! Played it safe from then on back to the knees!

Think I spent more time in the water than on the board but it was good fun and a great laugh. We have found a sport which Becky is better at than me!

That night we were heading to a vegetarian restaurant along the beach but we were stopped after maybe 2 mins walk due to a burger bar which caught Becky’s eye. It looked AMAZING. We were still knackered after only 3hours sleep so it was decided we would eat here and then the vegetarian place another night. This restaurant did not disappoint, garlic bread to start (5 pieces even though there’s 2 of us….pointless) both of us went for the veggie burger with LARGE fries. It was a struggle to finish it but we made a good effort 😂the diet will have to wait a few more days!.

Tomorrow is planned…..time to become advanced open water divers!
