24 July 2008
So. Several hours later the rain showed no signs abating, so big sis and I ventured out in the sheets of rain to seek out my aunts and uncle who were staying in the new (still being built) part of the resort. On the way we saw a poor fish, about the size of a large carrot, flopping about on the driveway trying to find a puddle to revive itself in. Big sis tried to pick it up but couldn't hack the squirming and I was equally pathetic, unable to hack either the squirming or the sliminess. Fortunately, it found its own way into a puddle where it sat sighing heavily through its gills.
Onward ho - through ankle deep water with some pathetic planks laid strategically in a manner so as to sink as soon as we stepped onto them. Well, sodden and bedraggled, we saw Australian aunt in the distance about to embark on the trek in the opposite direction. Finally made it there and sheltered for a bit before we all made the trip back to our villa.
And that was our first morning. Lunchtime, torrential rain and nowhere to go.
