Chilling!

We’ve been far too relaxed here, even updating the blog has seemed to be too much effort!  The setting and weather have been ideal, the kids had been happy playing on the beach and snorkelling and i have finally got stuck into some of the books i brought on my ereader.

Phil has had some great diving.  After my refresher course i just did one dive.  Unfortunately it was marred by too many stinging jellyfish to avoid at that particular site on that particular day.  Then i ruined it completely with my error on set up (someone had already turned my air on, so I turned it all the way off and back on half a turn, instead of all the way on and back half a turn) meaning that my air stopped very suddenly.  My buddy and i had to quickly put into practice our training and ascend together using only her air.  Wouldn’t have been much fun at the best of times but through the jellyfish it was pretty horrid.  All in all i’ve decided to leave the diving to Phil for now 🙂

Today we have to drag ourselves away from here, several stone heavier and a good deal browner?  We will spend one more night in the same hotel at Kuala Besut and then move onto to Kota Bharu.
