Subject: Post: Yesterday we moved to a new homestay, just across the sea to opposite island. Not sure if that was a good move, but that's how I originally booked it, one week in the first one and some days in an another one. This one is even more in the jungle, houses are nicer but otherwise the atmosphere is a bit more boring.While the previous combination of homestay and a diving center felt like a liveaboard diving boat on land where you get to know everyone and do things together here it's a bit more privacy. No common dining room, the food is delivered to each cottage to eat on own balcony watching the sea. Technically nice, but I still liked the common room option more. Also the food is very westernized and mostly from some frozen stuff, when the previous homestay was making much more local fresh home food.Also, my previous ear infection returned and this time much worse.. Well, still have the antibiotic drops and we are also taking another antibiotic for malaria prevention which should also work on ear infections, so I expect it will heal soon. The nearest doctor is far away in Waisai, so have to survive until the trip home on Thursday. If it gets worse will make a doctor trip by boat of course, but it should heal with the medication we already have. Iryna has the same thing, just more mild.. Typical after tropical water diving and tropical climate.The infection and the slight boring atmosphere with the place with no much to do meant we basically slept the entire day. Let's see if tomorrow have power to do other things. We walked to the nearby village through jungle though to see around and visit a small shop. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
