#2: Didn’t bring walking sandals and walked 8kms in jandals… got 2 blood blisters and the world’s biggest blister under my toe!!! We couldn’t buy a needle to pop it and ended up buying a maths set (for the pointy compass) at a store down the road – needless to say the blister popped on the walk home… I couldn’t walk properly for 2 days and had to wrap up my toe and wear sneakers – hence some photos of me at the beach not in bare feet!
#3: I brought white shorts – what on earth was I thinking?! Not the place for white, you look like a dickey tourist and completely impractical.
#4: In the middle of having an angst ridden moment about not being able to access the internet – we lost access here and went out for dinner and it said “free access” only nothing really worked properly – the “lovely” man at the café plonked a lizard on my shoulder (fundraising for the local school). I said in my most demure and polite voice “I DON’T WANT A LIZARD ON MY SHOULDER” but was ignored, so managed to pull out the best winning smile I could manage… ahem….
#5: My glasses broke – I kid you not! Not my sunglasses, my “I’ve got to go to work on Monday and look normal” glasses (sigh). They’re currently being held together by, um, nothing. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep pushing the arm back in until we get home…
