Diving School

Ric and I went back to school today. We're doing the Padi course which seems very good. Three others in the class. All of us novices. Tomorrow they're taking us off to the sea. So much to take in! I hope I don't bottle it.

The people here are so relaxed, even saying hello to us in the street. One half of town is full of Starbucks, hotels and expensive shops, but our end is a more fun. Loads of places to sit, eat and drink outside.

The days are scorching and it rains through the night. The locals say the climate is changing. More variable in recent years.

I can't wait to hit the water!
