Rain stopped any outside play. The water continues to be unclear so I allowed Helen only one wash in the morning as we must begin to conserve water. In the end this turned out to be necessary as it ended up raining a lot and we’d have had nowhere to dry a second load.<\/p>\n

I was fairly listless for the day surfing the internet at very slow speed. Every now and then we pick up a 3G signal and we’re off for a bit but it never lasts that long. I decided my brain needed some real exercise and went back to Project Euler and nailed problems 172<\/a>, 153<\/a> & 158<\/a>. It’s such a weird feeling as each time I go back to this kind of activity I feel at first as if I’ve gone senile. The questions look impossible to answer and I wonder if we’ve had one too many parties. But soon the gears become unstuck and the synapses start to shake and ideas flow. Not all at once. Sometimes I have to walk away, have a snooze, read a book to distract myself and then come back with new ideas. Always satisfying to answer a few more as I’m continuing to feel as though I’ve run out of ones I can do.<\/p>\n

In the evening we went ashore during a period when the rain had eased off to have a meal with Endless. There we met Paulo from Supermario who we’d not seen since the Galapagos. We had been told that dinner would be sausages and mash but it ended up being pasta again. Deja Vu!! Helen ended up going back with Endless while I stayed for a while drinking cava with the staff and guests. I didn’t return until midnight. I slept very well but now I am in that post cava haze. No Euler problems this morning.<\/p>\n

This weekend we’ll be watching the rugby quarter finals. They don’t have Sky TV here which means we can only watch the matches that are shown on the Fiji One local TV station. So today we get to watch Ireland v Wales but not England v France which we really wanted to see. But tomorrow we get to see South Africa v Australia which should be an excellent match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
