Last day

So im officially out of here . I have booked my ferry and dropped my washing off and head for breakfadt to Raos. I meet the usual crowd and say goodbye to a few of the wonderful people ive met. I spend quite a lot of time here this morning taking hints and tips for my forthcoming trip. Uncle Johnny is such a legend on the island and at 83 has a vast knowledge of travelling Malaysia. I make my way back to do a bit of packing before going down the beach for an hour. Im suffering with massive homesickness these past few days and i think its a mixture of not feeling well and lack of communication. The 7 hour time difference makes it really hard to get times to coincide with people not working and me not being in bed. I have to make a payment through Western Union and after returning to get my passport and back to the western union i have to go through a registration and then when i come to make the payment they advise me that you can't make payments to a business account in Malaysia only to private accounts. I admit defeat and head down the beach to try and clear my head and have space with my thoughts I find the waves crashing against the shore give me an element of peace but this is short lived as I watch the dark clouds roll over the islands in front of me. I can physically see it raining and literally pack my things up and walk back to my room with the rain following behind me. I can physically see the mist that it makes and within minutes of getting back it pours down and continues to do so all afternoon. Its quite a relief as it also brings a cooler breeze. In the evening the guys from rainbow take me for my last supper. . We go to the steamboat which im really excited about as in all my time here I've never experienced it because generally you need quite a few people to experience it. There is a huge bowl over a gas burner which is split in two. Half Tom yam stock and half chicken stock. The other half is a barbecue. It's eat as much as you like and they have every thing from crab to whole fish, prawns lamb chicken and every vegetable under the sun . You fill your platter with what you want then place either in the stocks or the barbecue for cooking. At the end you are left with soup/stock from heaven which you then cook noodles in to absorb the flavour or just drink as a soup. Its absolutely delicious and an experience I will definitely be repeating. We head back and as im sailing in the morning opt not to go for drinks and get an early night as my alarm is set for 7amOkumaya devam et
