Saturday 29th March 2008

It was so hot last night that at about 11.30 I got out of bed and went and slept in one of the hammocks on the porch. I tried to shut the door as best I could, but woke up at just after 4am with it wide open. I went to check on Nikki and she said she was having trouble sleeping - not only because it was hot, but because the door kept creaking as it swung in the breeze. After that I came back inside and crashed out on the bed.

Nikki woke me up at just after 11am this morning and said she'd already been for breakfast. The sweetheart said I looked peaceful, so she left me where I was. I got myself ready and then went for something to eat myself. Straight away, we could tell it was going to be another hot one. After breakfast, me and Nikki went for another walk around the island - this time in the other direction from our guest house. We didn't get very far... we just moaned the whole way about how hot and sticky we were, and came back to lay in the hammocks instead.

We spent the whole afternoon doing nothing - just laying on our porch. The only times we got up were to use the toilet or when we went for a nice refreshing shower (three in Nikki's case). This evening we took a walk round to one of the nearby bars on the West side of the island, where we sat and watched the sun set. It was crazy - not only was the sky turning the usual shades of red, yellow and orange - but also green.

Man! We'd be lost without those hammocks!
