Life on an island

Life here is truely idillic.. no idea quite how to expalin to you all just how good it is!
Had an amazing weekend.
Saturday went horseriding up volcan Sierra Negra.. was good to get back on a horse finally but was bloody uncomfortable, as we had western saddles and also as you can imagine they were all trated like shit.. and basically numb to the world.. following one behind the other. But i was shocked that most of the horses didnt even have bridles, they just had piece of rope round their bottom jaw!
On sunday went for a walk up to the wall of tears again.. (previously went on a bike climbed up the surounding mountains.. and managed to fall and almost break my neck.. also found a path going beyond the wall and wanted to explored for an hour.. but got no where) i went for a 2 hour walk beyond the wall to finally find baratoa beach.. lovely.. and of course empty..
On my way back stopped by the surfers hut and chilled with the locals for a bit. The boys picked some coconuts off the trees and we were eating and drinking from them and chilling.. and i got to admire all their perfectly formed bodies whilst they surfed... paradise!
Yesterday, 1st May everything was closed and got a day off... decided maybe to do a little sunbathing. Big MIstake!! I am looking like a lobster. I think someone must have something seriously against me... i had stripped before hand and creamed my entire body.. then was only in the sun from 9 till 11... 2hours!! and i spend the rest of the day tending to my wounds.
Today one of the americans i met round here, lonnie. he went with me to the shop and we bought an aloe vera leaf.. which the owner actually gave us for free.. and he showed me how to extract the buba to put on my burns... LOve this place.
I am also a bit oncerned at the moment about where i am staying because there has been a guy walking around outside my room and looking in.. i have informed the owners, but i think i will just have to be a bit careful.. lots of sex starved vultures arund here... even the kids have started trying it on with me.. 10yr olds!! what is that about.. and at work today.. not funny... they guys kept whistling at me calling me sexy and tried to kiss me and were taking pics.. i think thats enough to file for sexual harassment..!!! And its not like i am provoking it.. i wear long trekking trousers and a shirt! not even a straptop! O well... its a good life lesson.. and at least they are both only up to my shoulder.. so i can handle them!
Unfortunatly all the people i knew have now gone so am quite alone, but its good.. i am really enjoying myself chilling!
Take care people!xxx
