Francois,
Tony and a very excited, nervous, anxious Jess headed off to Menjangan Island
to go diving. The rest of us headed to the beach, only two days left before we
moved on – needed to enjoy the last few days.
Rented
snorkelling gear again, wanted to head out and find the Buddha statue in the
lotus flower that everyone was on about. Found it and yes, twas very pretty and
home of lots of clownfish. Gorgeous!
More
pre-dinner drinks on the veranda, tonight would be the last night we could
commandeer Francois’ couch as he is heading home tomorrow so we’ll need to return
it for the new guests.
There had
been talk of ordering a suckling pig for his last night, however we were not
able to get enough numbers to go for that idea. Instead we headed back to the
nice restaurant that served the aesthetically pleasing plates. I had an amazing
pork satay, it was fabulous to look at, and tasty as well. In fairness I
haven’t had a really bad meal on the trip so far – touch wood. That being said,
Tony ordered some Red Snapper and was given a scrawny fish with hardly any meat
at all. Bit disappointing.
A group of
ten girls in about their mid twenties pulled up to the table behind us. Francois
was curious as to how they all knew each other as they all had different
accents but were conversing in English. Turned out they were TEFL teachers, on
holiday. He’s gas altogether, put a pretty girl in his vicinity and watch him
perk up and get all curious. To be fair I’m only jealous as I’d have much
preferred if it had been a table full of guys. Not that I would have cared
though what brought them together, I’d just have appreciated the view. As it
is, there’s not much choice for single eye candy around here, everyone is
coupled up.(Well it is a prime honeymoon destination). Totally depressing!
Made our way
back to the guesthouse. Tony had the bright idea that we should re-create a
photo from our South American trip, where we all gathered in a circle, placed
the camera on the ground and set it to timer. Ahh, reminiscing about good old
times. Cracking photo though!
