рмкрнНрм░рмХрм╛рм╢рм┐рмд |: 08.08.2022

It's raining a bit during breakfast. The manager is relaxed, wearing a linen shirt and barefoot in front of the restaurant ЁЯШЕ The jogger is running her 400m route through the facility like the last two days ЁЯФД We wonder why there are no female service staff working in the restaurant... we have only seen them at the bar and in the spa. Today, the blue peacock is sitting on a coffee table in the lobby ЁЯШЕ

Our diving course starts at half past 10, together with 2 Swiss boys. We spend about 2.5 hours in/around the pool - first in shallow water, then in deeper water - and learn some theory and practice. ЁЯд┐ At first, it feels a bit unusual to breathe underwater, but we quickly get used to itЁЯЩВ

During lunch break, we realize once again that our room has the best location/view in this category ЁЯШКЁЯТкЁЯШО

After a lunch break, we continue. We practice jumping into the water and how to react to problems underwater. It is a challenge to be without a mask or with a flipped bottle, but we manage ЁЯЩВЁЯТкЁЯШК We learn how to breathe with someone else's bottle and how to clear water from the mask ЁЯСМ

We have the late afternoon to ourselves and relax on the beach in the sun until it disappears behind the palm trees. Before dinner, there is a diving video tutorial. Tomorrow, we start at 8:15 amЁЯШ▒ЁЯШ│ЁЯШЖЁЯдг but only until noon.

We check the hotel app to see what's happening in the next few days. Maybe we'll explore the island on foot as well ЁЯШЙ

What Benny is looking forward to: reading Melly's handwritten blog at the end of the trip. ЁЯШК But for now, we continue to enjoy paradise ЁЯдЧ

At dinner, the waiters are more organized today and we catch a service staff who even speaks some German ЁЯШЕ Our choice for dinner is amazing (except for Melly's dessert ЁЯШЖ Indian: carot-cardamom-raisin ... warm ЁЯдг). We play a short game and then off to bed.

Tomorrow, it's time for the Open Water dive. ЁЯд┐

Stay tuned ЁЯПЦЁЯПЭ
