We checked out of the White Sands in the morning feeling a bit tired. I'd woken in the early hours to find that the ants from the bathroom had migrated to my bed and had not settled after that.
We considered doing the advanced diving course but our ears were too sore and we wondered if we might benefit from learning elsewhere later in the future. Unfortunately, sore ears and the fact we had no room to change in meant that I also had to give up on my trapeze dream for the time being.
We left our bags at reception and spent the day on the beach, trying to stay out of the sun. We found a nice beach restaurant but it was still actually a little dull at times because we didn't feel too sparkly, had seen enough of the 'town' and couldn't go in the sea because we wouldn't have been able to shower.
At 8pm we were taken to 'sleeper boat' where we were due to spend the night. After quite a wait, we were eventually herded on. We had seen pictures of the boat at the travel agent but were still not quite prepared for the size of the beds. Each tiny 'mattress' was places as close as possible to the next tiny 'mattress' so it was like sleeping with lots of strangers in one giant bed. In total, the boat held 120 passengers so it was very 'cosy' indeed.
Somehow, we actually slept quite well but Matt did keep waking up face-to-face with the guy next to him and getting a bit of a shock.
