I'm not deprived of a book for too long. Jo has finished his book so we do a swap. Woo hoo! I also have a second book that I have finished and Jo directs me to a local exchange shop. Double woo hoo! The exchange shop is typical of many that I've seen along my travels - lots of books, but little choice. However, amongst the various crime thrillers and romance novels I manage to find a copy of George Orwell's 'Burmese Days'.

In the evening Jo, Dominic and I go out for drinks as they are leaving tomorrow. We go to a bar (that naturally has a happy hour). The bar has a 2 for 1 offer on their lemons rums (which means two glasses of lemon rum for a dollar!) Four glasses of lemon rum each - gotta make the most of these offers - and we leave for dinner on the beach. After dinner and drinks we say our goodbyes (sniff!)

There are a couple of puppies on the site and when I get back one of them is obviously in the mood to play - forget the fact that it’s late and I’ve been on a lemon rum and wine diet - and chases me around the garden whilst its bemused sibling sits at the side, watching the shenanigans.
