Today we did neither hike nor drive round the island. We spent quality time at the hotel. Enjoying a nice and quiet time on the lawn in front of our room. In the hotels brochure they put great emphasis on their private beach smack in the center of a tiny marine wildlife reserve, providing ample opportunities for close encounters with colorful fish and other friendly creatures. And indeed, when I took my first plunge today I was quite amazed by the beautifully clear water and several amazingly colorful fish nibbling on algae growing on the rocks. Unfortunately my camera does not take well to being immersed. So just to provide some perspective, the ocean is as great as the hotels adventure playground is not.
