Diving

Hi again,
Although have had quite a quiet week, it also turns out we all have a 4 day weekend here! Easter is time to massive celebrations, and we are not missing out.
So far this week, me and Anna have spent our first night in Kiwi House. This is a little shack known as the hospital accommodation. It is for 8 of us, but only has one shower, one toilet and the sink is actually the kitchen sink. Still it has its charms and has been home to so many medical students over the years from all over the UK and Australia. We had our first night together in the house last night, celebrated with gin and tonics and lime vodka and lemonade. We also played card games and got really rather noisy! Was nice and a good way to settle in.
We are surrounded b y local people, who were partying until the early hours last night. One of the families also owns a cockerel, who delighted us by announcing the break of day for 3 long hours.......and with the noisy birds and proximity of the main road out of town we were guaranteed an early morning!!!
Still it's nice to be closer to the hospital and to the local hotel with pool.
The others have been training hard this week in preparation for their first open water dives. I will be taking lots of photos from the surface and snorkelling above them. Turns out their are loads of ship wrecks off the coast of Guadalcanal so we're going to be swimming among a few of those!
So that is how we are spending our Easter weekend, not bad, eh?!
I would also just luike to mention that Steve is now officially 2Lt Knight once again, as of 45 mins ago (aka midnight Thursday) and I am very happy that he manages to escape Sandhurst and can have a little bit of freedom once again. Congratualtions boyo!
Hope everyone is well. We are feeling much better now and are a little more acclimatised to the heat!
Love Kylie and Anna x
