Day 3
After
breakfast we went for an 8.30 snorkel out to centrepoint. It is between the two
islands and although it was nice it wasn’t as good as yesterday. Peter used an
ear plug and came for a snorkel – he couldn’t bear to watch us having all the
fun. The weather was beautiful – so clear we could see blue sky. The storm last
night appears to have blown away much of the smoke from Indonesia that has been
obscuring our view. We went for a walk
along the beach up to the village. It is sad to see so much rubbish in the
water and along the shore. Rebecca saw a local person come to the beach and
empty a large bag of household rubbish at high tide line – waiting for the next
high tide to take it all away (out of
sight, out of mind). As we came back along the beach we stopped at another resort
(homestay) and the best thing was they have cold drinks. Our accommodation only
has electricity from 6.30 at night to 6.30 in the morning. Great to power the
fan but not good to keep the drinks cold. At night we can see fire flies
playing under the trees by the beach, but in the distance the oil rigs can be
seen glowing as they burn off fuel. Not so serene.
