Whilst the boat was out of the water we stayed in the Landing Beach Resort – a 2 minute walk away. The bed was decorated with a different message every night –sweet aye!

We stayed in basically a semi-detached wooden bungalow called a bura.  Veranda was cloaked in fly screen, now we know what caged animals feel like, on the other hand we could have been people watching voyeurs.  On Sunday’s a wood pit is fired up and meat cooked inside.

Part of the beach at Landings.  The bridge leads to a small island shaped like a foot.  There are a couple of golf holes (?) on the island – and lots of golf balls on the surrounding reefs.

Me on the reef.  Unlike other places we have been, here the reefs are wave-cut platforms.

Sunset, and we have yet to see the green flash – poppycock!
