After another awesome day of diving and snorkling yesterday, our group got taxis back to the station and even though we left behind hot showers and most joys of a normal life (!) it felt like coming home. Dare I say...it's nice to be back :) This ... Read more >

What a top day...apart from the breakfast of burnt porridge and papaya, which I've decided I don't like at all (papaya that is, not porridge). We were given options this morning in terms of work. Caesar needed groups to cut down dead banana trees for ... Read more >
