The coral coast is named as such due to the extensive coral reefs which line the whole southern edge of the main island. Extending about 200 meters from the shoreline they provide a solid barrier to the swells of the open Pacific ocean. The surf constantly pounds against the reef creating an incessant roar which filters through the wooden slats of the villa windows day and night. We have had to keep these mostly closed due to the cold wind accompanying the sound of ocean whipping through the room, making it feel like a typical winters day south of Hounville.
A short stroll along the beach (before massage for the other one) this morning saw us stumbling across some frolicking horses and an interesting vertical waterfall off the reef. Thinking the weather was improving was purely due to being around the point and out of the wind. Back at Breezy Villa (where the chill winds doth blow) we were kindly entertained by Daniel. Local dude who had many talents inc. Basket weaving, Hat weaving, and other fashion accessories such as glasses and watches.
Dinner was delightful. This is certainly the place to come to relax away from the maddening hordes. Given the weather it also puts a whole new meaning to the verb chillax. We do however remain hopeful the sun will prevail at some stage and allow us to
fully enjoy the delights this place has to offer.
Tomorrow we head off into the wild west to seek out some deserving souls.....
