Janina's Birthday

Did not wake up till 8.00am, our latest since leaving England. Janina opened her 2 cards, from Lisa and me, but no presents!!!! Thanks to all those who wished her happy birthday by email.
Decided to spend a quiet day on the beach, found suitable sun beds and settled down with a drink
.


Unfortunately beach sellers had different ideas, hello madam hello sir do you want a massage is the most popular. They have to pay $1 of your agreed price to the restaurant owner who owns the sun beds. Then you have the fruit sellers.



The food sellers, lobster and squid mainly, also balloons, trinkets, sunglasses etc.


They are all very pleasant and there is no hard sell unless you show an interest. There were several jet skis skimming up and down, we began to talk to a jovial man whose job it was to look after the jet skis when not in use. When he mentioned it was $20 for 30 mins I thought I would have a go.....it looked good fun. As I gingerly went out to sea and opened the throttle I hit a wave and spray covered my glasses.....should I have taken them off??? I soon mastered the art of choosing calmer water and opening up to full throttle, wow, this was fun.

Two days later and I still have a tender bum!!!!!
