Day 11

Another hot day today. Sunset swim was exceptionally refreshing. The water wasn't that warm but the tide was really low and the seas were calm. The rocks that form the barrier between the pool and the ocean was amazing, it had a green underwater forest of seaweed at the edge of the stone stairs leading up. Unfortunately once you climbed up, the surface is covered with barnacles. If you've ever tried chinese foot acupressure therapy..well this is similar to it. Tread with care or risk ripped skin. Walked home in tints of rose. Crickets singing, the smell of jasmine in the air. Warm summer air.

But nothing really brings home the fact that it's summer, than when the rainbow parrots use my balcony (and my orange slices!) as a pick up zone and place for fornication. One parrot came back later and squarked loudly into my open balcony doors, asking for "MORE ORANGE!ORANGE!MORE ORANGE!" Cheeky parrots...
