Poor Clare woke up with a headache accompanied by an unusual dose of grumpy. After breakfast it felt too hot to do anything so we lazed around in hammocks and tried to Skype Beth for her birthday.
Then we retreated to our air conditioning and put on a DVD from their library. Unfortunately it was a pirated one, we could actually see the edge of the cinema screen and the seats in front. It was also in Portuguese and of course had no subtitles so we gave up.
We went to lunch and then walked the Abraão circuit which is a shady 2 km trek through beach, river and jungle. After that we needed a swim. The water is a really decent temperature but has lovely refreshing cold currents that appear.
When we got home Clare sat on the bed - no leaping - and it broke! Quite dramatic but very funny. They are trying to fix it now.
We've booked a full day circuit of the island boat tour tomorrow. Beaches, snorkelling and factor 50!Read more
Sheila StevensonJust caught up with all your recent posts.More fab and amazing pics and loved your commentary too. Perhaps the touch of the grumpies relates to being too hot? Beth loved getting your birthday card today and trying to speak to you on Skype. We kept her birthday with g'parents today. She suddenly looks amazingly grown up trying out new roller skates with all the protective gear - knee, elbow and wrist pads. These all from Jon's family. Choc cake made by me with strawberries, cream and meringue provided by Kay all went down very well! xxxx M/S
Tim StevensonIs that a frog/toad on the bed in picture #5 (photo not quite clear enough to zoom up and be sure). How did it get there and what did you do with it??
