We're visiting the uninhabited volcanic island
where Castaway was filmed. As you can see it is a really beautiful spot, seen
here with one of the crew of the Vulcan Spirit holding her stomach
in:
 The water here is the warmest we've found so far,
at about 30 degrees. Just to the right of the picture is Tom Hank's cave
situated right on the top of the beach:
 And at the end of the beach is this rather nice
lump of rock:
 Which is connected to the rest of the island by
this fabulous tombolo of bright white coral sand, with a giant
swimming pool on each side:
 And as you can see the weather has settled down a
bit. After three months of quite miserable weather the last two weeks has been
what the Tropics are supposed to be like. At last.
