Day 724 - Back in the water

While eating brekky this morning, these kids came floating past - when you live on the water you're never without a playground. It's amazing to see what freedom have in such a potentially dangerous environment.
Rita and Adam are on their way to becoming advance divers, and so mid-morning they set off for dive number 1, with Liv joining them in the boat to go snorkelling above their bubbles!! We could try to describe the plentiful marine life below us, but our words would be more like a black and white description rather than the rainbow of colours these waters hold. You want to see it ... come for yourselves!! But so we're not teasing you, here's something you can find above water!While Liv enjoyed the night sky and lightning from our floating home, Adam and Rita set off for their first night dive. You'd be amazed at what you can see in the dark with a strong light, but more amazed when you turn the light off and find yourself surrounded by a star-like luminescent display of dancing plankton.

The divers arrived back buzzing, but the feeling was soon banged out of them, a the band from last night was playing in full force again, but this time way drunker. We have nothing against music, normally we love live music, but we do object to having our eardrums hurt from music 100 times too loud, sung by a guy who really shouldn't be singing. Plus we were getting pretty sick of hearing the same 5 songs sung over and over again.

We eventually went to our room where the noise was marginally better, though we still had to yell to each other to be heard ... and then tried to sleep through the pain.

Adlibing noise.
