Early in the morning we took the kayak ashore to see if we could go for a walk on the island. It turned out we could. The guys in the dive store gave us the directions for a trail that took us over the top of the island and down to a very pretty resort on the east side. Here we found a stunning, deserted beach with lots of interesting rocks. Here we found, out of the way, Lo’s Tea House. Here we bought refreshing drinks and a slice of chocolate cake.
As it was low tide we were able to continue south down this beach, over the rocks and then wade through the bay and channel through the mangroves back to the west side of the island. Here we had to cross the beach where the Blue Lagoon Cruise boats stop. There were big signs along the way saying we were not allowed to do this when a ship was moored but we walked on through any way not wanting to make our way all the way back. We encountered no problems doing this.
In the afternoon we tried a couple of spots for snorkeling. The water varied in temperature and clarity considerably. Near where the cruise ship moors the fish were abundant and hung around us. This suggested they were used to being fed which made it feel a little artificial.
The only project work tackled was applying some WD40 to one of the knobs on the gas hob as it had gone stiff.
During our walk/swim, we found it hard to recognise any scenes from the Blue Lagoon movie. Perhaps more discerning readers will spot something in our photos.
