Morning all,

It has been quite chaotic recently. Iīve been flitting between the boat and the hostel and lots of other things. I met up with two crazy Dutch girls called Manon and Sanne and we went over the Hvar, the Island of the beautiful people. Everyone was stunning, male and female. So chaps, if you fancy bagging yourself a stunner, get yourself over to Hvar! Seriously, it was like a model convention. I am now having to do the sniff and crunch test with my clothes now as I donīt get to properly launder things very often. Rubbing my clothes with a bit of shampoo under the shower is about as extravagent as it gets. I have bagged the best bed in the best room in the hostel for when I am land based. Itīs in the air conditioned dark corner at the top so it is not very noisy. However I was woken up this morning by 12 drunk men stumbling in. Lord knows where they came from...check it out - http://thekorculabackpacker.blogspot.com It has been bastard hot here recently, about 44 c in the afternoon. It is 34 c around 9am and there is no wind so you just spend the day drenched with sweat. On the boat it is worse. James and I sleep on the deck and look at the stars aaaaahhhhhhh! Snorkelling is pretty fantastic around here. There are lots of brightly coloured fish, and little buggers also known as sea urchins. Yes, I did accidentally kick one and got about 20 spines in my big toe. Ouch. I have met many mad people, and they truly are mad, but I am still having a fantastic time and my crew abilities are vastly improved. I almost look like I know what I am doing now! Oh and by the way, if anyone is considering coming out here, bring a lot of cash. Everything is the same price as England, it has been a bit of a shock. Right, I have some pictures so ttfn xx
