Almost a diver

Today I had my second confined (in the very loosest sense of the world as we were in the ocean, but just a v shallow part) dive and managed not to burst an ear drum (my biggest fear) but did manage to swallow a rather large gulp of sea water. 2 proper dives tomorrow so hopefully i might get to see some fish!

Just realised today that there are no cars on Utila (well, none that i have seen). Everyone drives around on golf buggies and quods, or a pick up truck if you are really flash.....but no cars. Other (more annoying fact) is that no-one appears to want to serve food between the hours of 2 and 5 which is a bit of a bugger when your dive class doesn't finish until 3 and you didn't have time for brekkie. Ah, the traumas of being away from home!

Had drinks last night in the maddest bar I have been in in ages. It is a bit like a Gaudi creation - a cross between Parc Guell and his house with the dragon on the top for those who have been to barcelona. Its an open air bar which goes back about a block with loads of levels everywhere and bridges etc with all the walls being covered with mosaic or bits of glass or shells or something. Its really hard to explain but it was amazing. And in honour I broke my self imposed rule of beer only in honduras (well, it was broken the night before but that doesn't count as 50p rum and cokes can't be passed up!) and had a rather lovely caiprinha.

Anyway, have to go and watch sunset whilst sitting at the bar (yes, am aware I must sound like a complete lush but have to pack in the socialising while i can)!
