Was feeling a bit miffed this morning as diving was cancelled due to the poor visibility after overnight rain, I'd already had to forego going riding because I thought I was diving and I woke up with ear ache.  Not good.  I took myself off for a stroll along the beach to Playa Grande and thought I'd share the photos with you - it cheered me up lots. 

Then, we were in the middle of reflexive verbs when a troop of capuchin monkeys appeared in the trees right next to the class room.  Much more interesting than reflexive verbs.  Don't worry though Mum, I didn't get too close to them (for those that don't know, Mum got bitten by a monkey in Thailand and ended up having to have numerous injections at the School of Tropical Medicine in Liverpool!).

I've also uploaded a little video of a panoramic view from my sunbathing spot

Not much more to say at the moment, but I'm off diving tomorrow at Isla Tortuga (Turtle Island) so keep your fingers crossed for better weather overnight.  Last night's thunder storm was awesome - as in awe inspiring!  I've never heard thunder like it, the room actually shook.  Maybe that's why I've got ear ache!! 

Looking forward to Mike arriving on Saturday and then you might get someone else wittering at you too!
