9 June 2008 - feedom beach

30th May

I woke up feeling hungry, surely this was a good sign!! We had some breakfast and packed some stuff to take to the beach!

We had been recommended freedom beach by a few people so we made our way to it. Although some of the roads on the island are concrete a lot of them are dirt.

It took about 15 mins to get there, the island is quite hilly so it made for some good exercise!! We walked down some steps and walked onto the beach. Although it is sandy there are a row of trees a couple of meters from the beach, this was nice as they provided us with some much needed shade!!

The beach was only small and set in an alcove, so surrounded by rocks, our only disappointment was that it was shallow water and it was difficult to walk out because of the dead coral on the floor bed.

We spent a few hours here before heading back to the beach by our room so we could have a bit of a swim. This beach was much bigger and although it was shallow the floor bed was sandy, so perfect to sit in!!

That evening we walked up to the middle of the island to have some supper. The island is pretty small so there are many places you can walk to.
