Day 7 – At the beach and Mangrove tour

SSC_0486 CSC_0487Another day.  Last minute decision – we go the the 2nd beach which is closer to our hut.  Emma makes a sandcastle with a moat and a bridge.  I fish but so close in-shore they are too small and just nibble the snail from my hook.  The snails we use for bait are truly well armoured and Alex and I really need to hit them very hard to break the shells.

After lunch we have plenty of time to wash and do diaries and we are at the boat for our mangrove tour very early.

We have the blue boat with Cindy as our guide.  An italian couple with 2x kids join us.  There are loads of mud skippers and blue crabs here.

The village on the island and a floating fishery.  Lots of crocodiles here so nobody swims.

Update: While having dinner this cheeky bat was cruising through the restaurant every minute or so.  I caught it with flash:
