I’m really in paradise. It’s warm \u2013 OK, it’s hot, but I like it. 2 to 3 times a day I’m having a shower. Sweat, salt water and sand are covering my skin. Using sun lotion at the beach gives me a natural peeling, so I don’t need to go to a beauty salon \u2013 luckily I never need to go to a beauty salon, ‚cause I’m male.
\nEvery day we visit another beach at this island. We’re using rented bikes for getting to the beaches. The distances are short \u2013 maybe 3 or 4 km. But, nevertheless, my back hurts much. It’s not only because of I’m a bit out of shape and not fit \u2013 I don’t use a bike regular, so I’m quickly exhausted. The other reason for my hurts is, the bike, I got, was too small for me. On the second day the renter put another seat on my bike, so the seat was higher. With the higher seat it was easier for me to get up the hills. The highest hill is about 333m over the sea. If you think about the size of the island (3 km long and 2 km wide) you can imagine of the gradient of the streets. Also the bad condition of the streets with many road holes is a reason for my hurts and on many positions the roads are not affixed, but only trails or beat tracks \u2013 biking is not easy under such conditions, even if you got a tracking bike.
\nAnother important fact is, here they don’t have street lights and also the bikes don’t have lights. The natives don’t care about this, they drive very quick and\u00a0 risky. So be extremely careful when riding your bike after sunset.
\nIf you love spiders, come on here: you can find spiders easily that are of the same size as your palm.
\nYou can also find many geckos. Funny sounds are in the air. I don’t know if that are birds or other animals. Even it sounds like monkeys, I guess they are from birds or the flying dogs, a kind of bats. The flying dogs or flying foxes are flying even during the day. They are eating fruits. Unfortunately my shots are not the very best.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
