We've really been enjoying the past few days, being forced to slow down. I have not missed all the driving.
Yesterday, Good Friday, we joined a church service on the beach at sunset. It was great to talk to the friendly locals and meet some others from out of town.
One family we met invited us to go snorkeling at a great spot they know south of Lakeside in the NP. A king tide was coming in and it was hard swimming through the current but I made it out to the coral a few times. There was a very large sting ray in the sand on the bottom. Lots of beautiful tropical reef fish and a turtle! He was happily eating seaweed on the bottom and not worried about the fast flowing current above.
A large school of fish jumped out of the water several times as if being chased, and they were, a small pod of dolphins came in quite close but by the time I got in the water they'd swam back out.
Later we found the secret entrance to Salsalis, the tent resort for some serious Glamping. I didn't think I could make it in unnoticed for a quick shower. Never mind, I'll have to find a generous parishioner this morning who'll let us wash at their place.
PS chocolate easter eggs don't keep their shape when its 37°C.
