Hard to believe been here for six weeks this weekend. Sometimes feels like I have been here forever though!
Dave and Ann left this week so that’s my drinking buddy and La Pirata buddy gone! (pub that shows footy)
Thanks to Ann had a course of antibiotics for my ear and some special ear drops but my ear still not perfect.
Hope you two safe and at your next destination, safe travelling and may meet you in La Paz.
Two more couples arrived this week (Charlotte & Andrew, Liz & Kevin) both seem cool and are hardened travelers, Char and Andy just came from Peru where they had torrential rain and landslides!
Macha Pichu closed at the moment but should be reopened for when I get there.
Helen arrived this week too so we now have a full house again!
Did the hike to Rockharbour again this week (older blog) so got nice and muddy and then swimming before walking back. We have to check 3 different beaches each week to see if the pregnant females moving to nest yet, not seen any though yet.
I had to lead theis weeks
transect because no staff available, saw some poachers and heard gunshots while we were in the mangroves! Meant the iguanas scared away so only saw 3 comared to 16 last time did in the sun.
One of the guys measured the temperature in the sun that day and it was 51 degrees c !! We were out in it for 4 hours, felt bit done in that night, must drink more water!
Mind you meant I could leave my washing in bucket of soapy water for an hour to get a 40 degree wash.lol
Originally booked to stay at station until 24th April but have told them I am going to leave early, hopefully this weekend if I can sort out a room or apartment. Just fancy having a month to chill and enjoy the island more rather than working!
Can get a 1 bed apartment with kitchen, cable and wifi etc for about 320 US$ just need to find one empty with spring break and easter coming.
So I can have lay ins and enjoy the beaches more, also Urs the swiss guy who built the schoolhouse has a boat and in
the pub the other day said he could take me out fishing or to the Cays, which would be cool.
Not got many new pictures for the blog so just picked a few random ones. I was laying in one of the hammocks this week and it collapsed! Luckily my feet end so was not hurt.
Hopefully next blog I will be in my own place and can have some marky time!
