A quite remarkable feeling.

Paradise No.2. Its too good to wait.

I can only imagine this kind of feeling is that which magic mushrooms and happy pizzas were established to induce their customers with. Its a high I am proud to have achieved without herbal influences and alternative veg and one I am determined to maintain for the rest of this whirlwind adventure.

It must be the combination of the soothing sounds of the tranquil waves gently folding over the scorched rocks and sands or perhaps it is the brimming fruit platter which I have just consumed? Or most likely the sheer beauty of the derilict beach inhabited by the two of us for the day, free from any other human activity, apart from the occassionally balding romantic french couple to keep us company. Sweet.

Now, I must tell you of something which caused me great concern this very morning. I think it is probably worth starting by describing the shrill, soprano screech I heard interrupting my gripping read. After shrugging it off as a rude galavanting tourist I quickly realised, It accompanied an obviously very distressed and dishevelled Pea, who was emerging in a most petrifying pace from the sea.

I had to think quickly on my feet.

I debated what on earth could have led to such drama. A gnashing brutal snapper of a fish perhaps. Do I run out clumsily like a baywatch lifeguard and save her? Fat chance. Instead I learnt as she puffed and collapsed on the sunbed that it had been the most peculiar chubby elongated worm-ish creature which persisted on sucking on my companions poor thighs as she bathed blissfully in the water. My little pea was exhausted and it took her a while to come around. Poor wee thing.
Obviously, I was overcome with relief that she emerged in one fine piece. The thought of completing this wild expedition without her infectious smile and unceasing banter constantly by my side is just too too awful to conceive of.

I must end this brief blogging by the latest triumph. The manager who unkindly interrupted my most delicious fruit salad at lunch, invited the two of us on a day tip tomorrow. Can you believe his kindness. Not just a quick whizz round the island but a magical seaside trip fulled with bbq seafood too. Not to mention the persuasive factor of delicious wines to drink at sunset and two charming men from the hotel to escort us. Mid mouthful I risked choking on my mango in fear he may withdraw this fine offer and accepted. I mean...is the pope Catholic?

I cannot wait to report back. For now, so long ......alfedersain(??!).

A high spirited buglet. x
