Day 5 - 28th April 2012
The weather turned nasty today. I just saw on the news that we had the wetest April day in 14 years. We picked it!!! Probably for the best though. We just lazed around all day. I had a killer headache so probably wouldn't have been too wise to do too much driving anyway. We did venture out onto the beach to have a look but it was too risky as it was about an hour and a half before high tide. The heavy rain does pack the sand a bit but just makes it greasy. Driving on it is a bit like driving on wet black soil. Nothing packs the sand to a hard surface like the partial weight of the Pacific ocean. So no piccies today. I did however, take the opportunity to do a little maintenance on my camera equipment. Let's see what tomorrow brings with the weather. Looking on the radar, it says the current patch of rain has moved south so hopefully it's out of the system. On Monday, we are planned to move further north and set up base but if the rain sets in, we've decided, we'll either stay here at Dilli Village or head back to the mainland and have a slow trip home. We'll play by ear for now.
