This morning I was up early and enjoyed listening to the birds and watching the fisherman out on their boats. It was so peaceful! Everyone slowly got up on the boat and we enjoyed some tea while watching the boats pass by. We enjoyed a great breakfast and then headed off to collect our kayaks.
We kayaked for quite a long time and enjoyed some beautiful views.
We saw some small fishing communities and learned a bit about them. One really good thing is some of the tour companies have partnered with them and collect their trash and what they pick up from the ocean in exchange for goods they cannot get on the water (flour, sugar etc). It has made such a difference as they look for trash to pick up now.
We stoped on a bridge between two islands that is only accessible during low tide.
Then we went over to a little cove for a swim. Unfortunately the bottom contains fairly sharp pieces of rock and most of us got some minor cuts. Richard was even lucky enough to get a sort of dead jelly fish tentacle around his ankle, but no harm was done.
On the kayaks back we went through a few caves.
Once back at the boat we had some time to relax before our beach BBQ.
It was nice to sit on the beach, but a bit hot and really sad to see how much trash washed up. Our guide picked up several bags while we were eating, but as we were leaving more was washing up.
We then relaxed on the boat as we headed to a cave to explore and then had a spring roll cooking class before our final dinner on the boat. The crew made some decorations just for us as well.
