Yesterday we took it easy the whole morning, Mai and I still recovering from our illness. We were just hanging around the bar until the afternoon. Then we took two tuk-tuks to Mambo's - the beach where the waves are not so big and where they have sunbeds in the shade.

Hiroko and Mai went into the beach bar and got freshly made juice, beautifully decorated with flowers. Philip rented a surf board and after practicing for more than an hour he finally succeeded in riding the waves a couple of times. Well done!

We sat next to a Danish couple. They saved our biscuits from the crows when we were in the water and we got to talk a little. They were also amazed at how many Danes were in A-bay.

In the evening we had seared tuna for dinner (half raw tuna). It was delicious!

Today we have planned a boat trip on the lagoon in the afternoon. In the morning Hiroko and I will go to Pottuvil for some errands and Mai will take the boys to the beach. We plan to spend the morning at the beach.
