The past week has been brilliant.  Lazy days at the pool, going for massages, diving, eating out, Muay Thai with the odd sleep over   ..I wish more family would come and visit!

After getting over the shock of Si’s mum surprising us like that, she and Roy are now on their long journey back.  Where has the time gone?   It’s been an emotional day and it feels very empty and quiet without them.  If only they could have stayed for longer.  We were just getting started on the tan, the nights out and diving  ..next time!! We wish them a very safe and quick journey home..

Simon is straight into his backlog of UK work, and I am straight back into teaching an Open Water course tomorrow morning. A video of Roys dives will be uploaded as soon as Simon gets some time to edit it!!

So, the last couple of days have been filled with some diving with Roy and hopefully completing his Advanced Open Water tomorrow..

We also sat by the pool relaxing, having a few bevvies, and one evening we went to Muay Thai boxing.

Besides that Roy and I went for a bike ride to my house, as you can see in the video below…

So… its been a busy couple of days, doing as much work as possible before Roy arrived…. and then the 29th came around… it was time to go and meet the ferry.

I left Jen at Safety Stop, and walked to the ferry which was just pulling in.. I could see Roy waving from it..

Roy stepped off, and we had a hug and waited for the luggage to come off.. Then this woman wearing a hat walked up to me and said “Don’t you say hello to your mother then?”  What a shocker… Mum had travelled over too!!!
After a few minutes of me stuttering and open mouthed, we headed to Safety Stop to get some breakfast. Roy had a fry up and Mum had some toast.
Then it was time to check them in… once that was done, Mum went for a couple of hour nap, and Roy, Jen and I sat by the pool..
That evening, I had duties to perform in the “Snorkel Test”, and then it was off to the festival… We arrived too late for the local dances, and the main stage had a heavy metal band on!! 

 Not exactly Mums scene… so we grabbed some food and a couple of drinks then headed to bed.
The next day, we sat by the pool in the morning, and then I conducted Roy’s scuba review.. Seeing as Roy had not dived in so long, I was a little worried that he might have forgotten a lot… It turns out that I needn’t have worried.. He was excellent in the pool, so we decided to get a cheeky dive in at Junkyard. 
I took the longtail boat out, and we dropped down, and after a few issues with ear equalising, went for a 52 minute dive… I can’t tell you how strange it is to dive with my brother… It keeps surprising me when I turn and look at him and think “Oh… Roy is diving!”
After our dive, we went to dinner at Whitening (Yum Yum), and then retired for the evening…
