Day 3 Back to the ol'' USA


It finally happended...Sooner than I expected.....The kids went back home to familiar surroundings.....Wakeboarding, Bowling and watching Transformer.2....Wakeboarding over here took on a whole new perspective....no boats required. Everyone (8) gets strapped onto a rope cable in the middle of the open sea and you rotate around a contraption where you can even do jumps. The movie theatres here are all preassigned seating like concerts too...No first come first serve basis. While the kids were bowling. I took a little side excursrsion to an adjacent island for some R&R of my own...A short 10 min boat ride and we where there. There's no rules around here when it comes to the quality of the boat. You get on board and off by yourself. The island was filled with all the different plants and fruit trees of the country. Pretty wild and fruits (durian) the size of watermelons hanging down. Pictures to come soon.








After the movies, we again indulged in local eateries and then headed back for a short swim and crashed....One thing about swimming pools here. They don't have to be heated and the temperature of the pools stay about 85 all year round....aargh.....








PS> While having breakfast, the kids started laughing at all the construction workers (we were at a safe distance) Imagine watching these big burly guys (Spore standards) doing stretches, jumping jacks, windmills and squats all in a synchronized manner just before they start their day.....A ritual I believe all over the country. Imagine it happening here :) Probably a good thing to consider though....
