14.50 - I will start today by telling you about last night. We heard about a party going on on the beach so we decided to go to that. We missed most of the entertainment but afterwards we were invited to a private party where there were lots of Americans and some English. We talked a lot about differences between English, American and Canadian speech whic proved to be quite funny e.g. screw off instead of fuck off! And thongs are sandals in Canada. After this party we cam back to the hostel where we met a guy who was supposedly the creator of Hotmail! He turned out to be very dodgey. He seemed to know everything about everyone everywhere! It was quite scary in fact, he never shut up talking about places he had gone that other people knew as well. I was fresh by the time we got in at 02.00, my first drink for over a week! I have been swimming this morning in the hostel pool, the weather is a lot better today.

20.30 - Well in the end we didn't go to Beachcomber Island. There was a big mix up with the lads we were supposed to be going with so we ended up staying at the hostel all day doing nothing. The thing is that we had already checked out of the hostel so we had to go to the hostel next door instead which isn't so bad. It's more comfortable if anything. Tomorrow we are going on a South Pacific tour which should be good. At least we will be doing something! The weather has been excellent, cloudy by very hot. I got bitten to shreds by mozzies last night and i can't stop scratching.
