Boiled Eggs for brekkie, which was a nice change. Set off with Andrea and Savea to hike up the ??? Island Mountain. I started off with Paish and Savea, but my leg felt great, so I motored up the mountain and overtook all the tourists which was fun, as they were pretty unfit. I high-fived the guy I followed at the top, and the took in the most amazing view! It was breathtaking - just a shame there were quite a few annoying disrespectful tourists around climbing on the fences when they were told not to. I talked to one local and agreed with him about how rude they were, and told him to push them next time.
Going down was hard though, and I jarred my knee once, but I think it will be good. Finally, my knee is finally going to settle! About time too! Roxy didn’t do the hike, but went to the museum, had fun with Elaine and Norman, and read her book - sounded nice!
We then did our first snorkel, and even though we didn’t see the most outrageous wildlife like yesterday, it was so beautiful, and so relaxing! We spent around an hour, the to top it off, we went to the most beautiful beach we’ve probably ever been to for lunch! We could have spend a few more hours there, but it was amazing, and walked along the sandbar. I did a bit of a beach cleanup - shame no one else did.
We went for our last ever snorkel in Borneo, and it was super chill, apart from the fish bomb! It completely took us by surprise - we all thought it was a big animal or a rock fall, and it put an end to the diving due to the history of deaths. When we read about fish bombing, it was not great. What a shame it still happens!
