Last beach day

Today we stayed close to home base. Stephen rented an umbrella and chairs at the beach outside the resort and we basically hung out there all day. It was a really hot day. I spent the morning people watching- families getting their gear and bickering about where to sit, friends heading to the beach in their stylish swimsuits. The outrigger canoe groups were going gangbusters with several boats heading out full of people. 

A trio of three young men came down laden with snorkel gear but also with gloves, wetsuits and spears. They headed out into the water with their red buoy, going deeper and deeper. 

I took a break mid-day to go back to the room, heat up leftover fish taco for lunch and get a break from the mid-day heat.

In the afternoon, back at the beach and the spear fishing guys were still out there. New families replaced the morning group. The water got rougher but a large cloud lingered overhead to cool us down a bit.

There were a lot of mynas out and they seemed to know who had food and who didn't. This one seemed to be giving me the side-eye.

I went out with Mei for a short snorkel. The usual assortment of colourful fish, joined by a black and white striped one and school of smaller silvery yellow fish. We didn't stay out for long as the rough surf made us a little motion sick. 

After a quick shower back at the room and a short rest, Mei made a delicious fish dinner with Opah and Ling from Costco, with broccoli and potatoes on the side. It was nice to have a lighter meal. 

The evenings entertainment was The Iron Giant, which none of us had seen.
