Not a lot can be said about the last few days at Tiga Ruang with Priyanka and Nadia. Each evening when Fisheries turned up we released some hatchlings which was cool. We are getting down to the last few nests as it is the end of the season. There hasn't been a nesting turtle for a week and we don't expect there to be anymore. During the day consisted of sleeping in the hammocks, reading my advanced open water book, my biography on Dave Grohl an absolute LEGEND and watching movies. On Saturday Lenny and Ainn popped over for the afternoon which was nice. Lenny and I went for a snorkel and I saw two new Angel Fish species I had not seen around the Perhentian Islands before. One was a Six Stripe Angel Fish, but not sure about the other.
When we finished we showered and were drying off when all of a sudden there was a loud bang followed by a scream. Ainn who had been sitting in a Hammock screamed as a coconut from the palm tree had fallen behind her and landed on the boat wreck. It was so funny, Ainn ran away and refused to sit in the hammocks anymore.Later on Lenny had decided to stay the night and Ainn went back to the Village. I told Lenny it was unlikely to see turtles again but he was happy just to stay anyway for a change of scenery. In between patrols the girls had been playing a Monopoly card game which they taught us. Once we got our heads round it, we all got very competitive and I won quite a few games. Would definitely recommend it if you are bored of normal card games. The girls left in the morning with Lenny, I was staying the Sunday night as well and Nick was going back to the village. Around 4:30pm Ramona turned up and Nick went the other way, Ramona had been looking forward to getting away from the Village for a night. She was due to join up with Blue Temple the following week to see how they do orientation and research with the Volunteers as Ramona was going to be running dive project next year. When she settled she filled me in on everything I had missed in the village and also told me something about one of our volunteers arriving Monday. I wasn't sure if it was my tiredness or Ramonas German accent maybe a combination of the two, but I thought she said that the volunteer had "Cancer". However, Ramona carried on chatting like it wasn't a big deal which made me question it and it turned out she meant "Cancelled" my bad, panic over. This meant we only had 1 volunteer arriving Monday.
