New Years on Sabang

---

On the weekend of New Years Jo, Me, Nerys, Remko and Erica went back to Sabang for some chill out time.
I stayed in a slightly better Bungalow than my last visit (Although Jo was adamant that it was merely a hut “Bungalows don’t go on stilts!”). It got me thinking about how much else has changed since last time I was here, only 2 months ago. When I came here last time I had no ties, my life in a backpack. Now I’m back with a job, friends.

On New Year’s Eve I thought aloud, “What did I do to get this lucky.”
“Well it certainly wasn’t dancing like a crazy monkey.” replied Jo, charmingly, as usual.
I’m not quite sure I agree with her.

New Year’s Eve was cool. There were a big group of people on the beach, a couple of cafes playing music and people dancing. Oh how we danced.
Turning down a joint from someone who worked in the UN was also an amusing note.
Remko brought some fireworks, however the small spinning one weren’t that impressive … until he emptied the box of 100 of them into a big flaming pile!

All and all it was a intense weekend off, mainly spent reading, snorkeling, eating BBQ fish and napping.

Me, Remko and Erica
I think Erica has grown tired of the chin thing.

Katrina had just got her Dive Masters. The celebration reminded me of Engineering school!

Good wine is hard to come by in Aceh
