Yes, I'm still alive!

I've been working on Thevenard Island, for the Mackerel Islands 'resort' for about a week now. Things are quite fantastic here, busy but also lots of fun. I generally do a bit of everything from cleaning rooms to working in the general shop to waitressing. There are only about 6 staff here right now (plus the managers, but they and their daughter are away this week), and not many more guests. Things are, apparently, going to get quite busy in the next few weeks, though.

The island is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. There are fish all around, and I've even seen sharks, dolphins and stingrays off the jetty! All the other staff are awesome, and even the guests are usually pretty cool. It's the kind of place where I can wear my barefeet everywhere, and feel like I'm dressing up for dinner if I put my flipflops on. Lots of sand everywhere, so I haven't worn actual shoes since I arrived.

I'm still sorting out internet here, so for the moment I'm pretty limited with my access. But I promise I'm taking lots of photos and will show you how awesome this place is one of these days.

And now I'm off for a stroll on the beach, and then tonight I'm in the bar. Cool beans!
