Pool selfie — we’re all in there in one way or another.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Less photos from the past couple days — apparently we did all the “cool touristy stuff” during the 1st half of the trip.<\/p>\n

Good thing too, since I, then Dave, in succession, each were hit with either food poisoning or Norovirus. Not sure which, they look and feel the same. I was in bad shape overnight Sunday, and for Dave it was much of Monday.<\/p>\n

I was just well enough to dive Monday morning (and did fine). We were both better by Monday evening.<\/p>\n

Tim’s ear issues were keeping his head above water since Saturday, which was disappointing for him; he was unable to do the second day of diving. On our last full day we stuck close, lounging in the AirBnB’s pool while watching the kite surfers in the ocean across the street. We still had a nice time…we flew home the next day.<\/p>\n
