We had the mother of all storms in the night - waited from 6am for our ferry to get us. Hours passed - zero ferry action. No problem - the joy of independent travel being what it is. The vomit comet leaves at 2pm, so seasickness pill me up and we can get that one. I was resigned to an hour of hell.
We rest it out in the room - but the winds are getting worse and worse. We quickly realise the hotel in the best position in the bay - prominently sticking out - is also the worst in gale force winds. I saw a chair picked up from outside our door - and dropped 30 metres further down the corridor. It was starting to get scary.
The slightly eccentric owner of our hotel, an uber conservative lady called Thelma has been a complete star though. She came to tell us the port is closed, so no 2pm ferry. She's letting us stay in the room tonight for no charge and fingers crossed the ferries will be allowed to run in the morning.
So it's an afternoon of crap movies, M&M's and take-aways. This feels like an adventure. Mum I promise I have been very healthy on this trip - but I've been forced to eat crap today - honest ;-)
So be careful what you wish for kids,
Mother nature is on the loose
