Snorkelling, South Side AM
We again managed to get ourselves on the first tender boat over to Mystery Island - it is a tiny island (maybe 100 meters across by about 2 k's long?) - and it's just made of sand. There wasnt much there, other than huts, and a large shopping area for tourists. I imagine that there are a number of criuse ships which land here, so they make a reasonable amount of cash. We did a bit of snorkelling, but there wasn't a heap to see.
A few sea slugs, and a couple of fish were all I could find. We got hungry pretty quickly, so took a tender back to the boat around 11am.

We at our lunch, relaxed for a while, and ventured back to the island. There was a guy sitting on the pier holding his face - he'd been stung by a jellyfish, on the face, and was not in a good way. (we later found out they had to fly him off, due to anaphylactic shock!).
We decided that we'd have a look at the reefs on the north side of the island, where the water was protected from the wind (and hopefully from the jellyfish).
It turned out to be a good call, and there was some fantastic things to look at. The most curious thing was when we were sitting in the shallows, keeping cool - I had a tiny little fish who kept swimming right next to me. I tried to pick him up a couple of times, but he managed to escape - but he just wouldn'd leave! :)
