Day 13

Last night there was a big tropical storm. It’s not so appealing sleeping in a wooden shack, suspended 20ft above the sea, during a tropical storm. At one point I even packed my bag should we have to evacuate. Sarah slept soundly through the majority, whilst I lay here and worried.
Today I witnessed something quite peculiar. A small goat was suckling from a larger goat’s tite, whilst another mounted the smaller goat and started to have his way. Goats are strange creatures.
We walked to the beach where I painted a picture of the island. As we walked along the path, we had to run for cover as the monkeys decided to drop large, halfeaten fruits on us from high above the trees.

It rained for the majority of the day in which confined us to our room. We spent the day reading and talking. It’s quite nice being in a tropical storm out here, makes a change from the scorching sun we've become accustom to so far on this trip.
