Scooter tour

Yesterday, I did what I believe is the best way to explore an island - or any new place: I packed my mask and snorkel, rented a scooter, and set off on a long ride through the island. And it was absolutely lush!

Over the past few days, I also found out where my godmother works (it was actually surprisingly easy, since the ~8500 people living on the island seem to mostly know each other). Unfortunately, when I arrived yesterday, the woman I spoke to informed me that my godmother had just finished her shift and left 10 minutes earlier. However, she gave me her working schedule for today, so I'm confident I'll catch up with her soon.

In addition to not having met her yet, another factor made me reconsider my initial plan to leave on Saturday.
I talked to this guy who told me about "pangirys" which are basically local village gatherings with music, dance, food and drinks that happen every summer once in each village on the island-and one of these is happening on Sunday close by. I remember them from when I was a child, so there's no way I'm missing out on that! I am chuffed!😍Read more
