We have spent the last few days
relaxing. Michael has been doing plenty
of diving finally obtaining his Advanced Open Water Certificate which means he
is now as qualified as our youngest son.
Peace returns to the Herring household.
I have spent my time wandering the shops,
catching up on some reading and completing a few crosswords.
The night before last we decided to take a
walk through the monsoonal rain and happened upon a deserted Hindu temple –
well, deserted except for one rather strange looking bare chested priest. The priest invited us in and then chanted
before one of the altars. He then passed
his hand through a candle flame and then touched his hand to our foreheads,
then passed his hand through the flame again, picked up some of the ash & anointed
our foreheads. A rather lovely and
spiritual experience.
Plenty of good street food with Annette impressed
by the Roti Tisu, with some recommendations from the locals to also assist with
finding good spots.
Herring tell me you didn't scare the locals with a pair of budgy smugglers while diving!
