Saturday 13th September 2008

We left the hotel at 9am to go back to the Swap Meet for one last bit of shopping. We had the option of going exploring around the island with supervisors as it only costs $2 to get around the whole island but nobody did as the heat was too much. It was so hot that our sunglasses fogged up after a few minutes and people were getting blinded with their own sweat - okay, that was only me but I am sure that other people were bothered by the heat. Two hours later, we all went back to the vans and headed back to the hotel where most of us did our washing, finished packing and most of the students went swimming to cool off.

In the evening, groups went down the road to have dinner at different restaurants e.g Ihop, Seaside Seafood Inn and good old McDonalds. It was so warm in the evenings, people walked around with shorts, t-shirts and ladies wore sundresses in the middle of the night. We saw someone get a ticket from a cop for crossing the road without waiting for the crossing signal. While most people read in their rooms or watched t.v to relax, some students were visited by their relatives who lived there and who had come by to drop off gifts for students to take back to New Zealand for the family.
