Friday 23rd

We woke up this morning after a terrible night of sleep- it poured all night long!!! We decided that we'd better go snorkeling before we ran out of time. We got to Hideaway island after a bus ride and a short boat ride. We got our gear and headed for the beach. It didn't look like it was going to be that great but as soon as we got under the water- WOW!!! It was AMAZING!! There were fish everywhere!! Red ones, blue, yellow, turquoise, orange!!! It was so incredible!! There were huge bright blue star fish and sea cucumbers!! The coral was everywhere!! If you got in a school of fish's way they'd swim with you!! They would come up to your mask to get a good look!! It was so so so awesome!! We snorkeled all day long with a little lunch break inbetween!! The water got a little rough but it was so amazing!! After about 6 hours of snorkeling and it was pouring rain we decided to go home and get ready. We realized that we both got so super sunburned on our backs and our calves!! That evening we went to the Tokalolo's for dinner!! They made us our favorites!! Mike-
laplap sasor with tomatoes!! And me- tuluk!! It was so good!! We had a lot of fun with the kids and giving them treats and stickers and stuff!! It was a great night!!

The laplap looks just like I remember - a bit scary, but some kinds were good.

They really didn't know how stickers worked? I LOVE your swimswuit! Where did you guys sleep?
