At 7 am we finally got our room. It was small, but the manager promised to give us our booked two rooms by the end of the day. So we finally changed into normal holiday clothes and went to have some breakfast. It was good, a usual continental one but we were so hungry it didn’t matter.

After that, we went to the room and had a nap. It was extremely good, seeing we haven’t slept for over 16 hours… even though Ben was snoring like a sick elephant (do elephants snore?!), I did sleep for two hours straight and then watched a DVD on Mom’s computer.

Then, the manager (whatshisname) called and said that one room was already ready. So Mom and Ben moved in there, leaving me homeless (or should I say roomless?). Then, just to spend some time we went to the diving centre to figure out when will I start the course (because I was dead-tired and couldn’t even remember my name) and when Mom and Ben can start their diving. We talked to a girl named Kirsten (very polite and very German) and she said I would start my training at 8 first thing tomorrow). And Mom and Ben signed up for a check dive, because they haven’t done diving in 1,5 years and they could’ve lost some of the reflexes and forgotten some of the skills and then they would go for a normal local dive off the boat.

The day ended with a great dinner (I ate too much as you do when you get to the “free” buffet) and then I got my room. It was much bigger than Mom and Ben’s (ha-ha!!!) and I refused to swap.
