Merry Christmas

Happy holidays to you all. We are off on our 3 day 2 night boat excursion in the morning and we will be away for Christmas. We are all looking forward to the trip.
Today was a relaxing day. We were served a beautiful breakfast to our room eggs, toast, banana pancakes, and fresh fruit. Then we walked down to the harbor and wandered around the village. It is quite poor but everyone is very friendly. We get big hellos from everyone we walk past. Especially the kids. One girl came up to us just so she could have her picture taken. After wandering around we stopped at a really nice place to relax. We all enjoyed a coke, played some cards and I beat Jordan twice at backgammon. Then we shared a pizza for lunch and a fresh arugula salad. Yummy.
We went back to the room and checked with Adrian about our boat trip and he had everything organized for us. It works out to 80$ each for the whole trip, food included.
We spent the rest of the afternoon packing for our trip and relaxing. Attached is a picture of Taryn's and my villa.
We all miss you and we will be thinking of you on Christmas while we are snorkeling in warm turquoise water and adventuring with Komodo dragons. We will be in touch when we get back to main land sometime on the 26th.

Love to you all

PS - Dianne - aunty bought mousse!!!

PS - Uncle Tom - we hope your built in snot catcher helps you out today at the skill hill...
