pics

 Sorry for going AWOL but driving and computer systems and Business Objects are getting in the way of life. Still

The worst pic first – yep sunburn

 

The local dragon trees were beautiful

The pool and the snack bar

The gorilla rock

The final remnants of what was agriculture on the islands now denuded for the most part of arable land

Unusually the vines are grown horizontally to avoid the winds – it does get a tad blowey!

The view of the beach – yes that is most of the length of the islands coast.

The view the other way is not quite so pretty but this is the port area and everything comes in this way – including the hotel laundry as there is precious little water…and yes, 1 day it didn’t come!

A view of the length of the pool, and paddling bits, from the bar area. Yep, its not that big but pleasant and relaxing

A strange shot but shows almost what you first see when you leave the airport
