Hired a Bike...

but then slouched on the beach all day.

The water here is not as warm as Thailand... in fact I'd go so far as to say it's on the cool side (not compared with when I was swimming with the dolphins, you can still feel your extremeties,  but with a  breeze you do get a few goose pimples when you come out of the water.

It's generally a bit breezy everywhere except Mura beach where we were snorkelling, as you are in the lea of the small islands; even then we had to stop snorkelling after an hour or two yesterday as we were actually cold.

So mostly it's quite easy to burn as you just don't realise how hot the sun actually is.

But you can't fault the scenery or the laid back friendliness of the locals and visitors alike.  Virtually nothing is illegal, and the things that are, (it seems from reading the local paper) are rarely enforced and when you do get caught,   if you apologise profusely in court they let you off anyway!

You don't have to wear helmets, or seatbelts (which makes me feel a little insecure cos I reach for them any way and they often just arent there!

I could seriously get used to it here!
