Packed at 8 am, breakfast and ready to dive at 9. Last pleasure dive (free in the package). New location “coral garden” , went down to 18 meters , max for an open water diving allowance. Beautiful, lost for words… A bit sad but got some organic chocolate (trying to sweeten up the moment) and jumped on the boat to the main land . Cycled in terrible heat and killing humidity until arrival in Miramar. Got a ginger cake and a Palmier (no beer in town) and took some pics. Quick wander and just as I wanted to cycle off some American guy asked me what I was doing there.
Half an hour later I was invited to his house to stay over-night and we discussed the problems of this planet. I was introduced to random locals popping in to charge their mobile phones (not everyone in the village has got electricity) . Richard, that’s his name, is some kind of us government worker (close to retirement age) investing in local land. He told me that you can buy land on an idyllic island for as little as 5000 US per hectare, NOT BAD EH?
I was introduced to a 1970 religious film (Ten Commandments?) , wile people where turning up and leaving getting fed and given some coca cola from generous Richy. He was highly educated individual with three degrees who had previously worked for Nato in the old days. His house was right on the beach but no luxuries.
