couple of hours every day.
There is a sailing boat here also & several rowing boats. We are not allowed outside the breakwater however. There is a certain amount of fishing done also but the fish are not very plentiful. Also have tennis courts & cricket pitches & I generally have a couple of sets of Tennis everyday.
We have concerts a couple of times a week as well as open air pictures. The tucker here is great, much better than in hospital & we have 4 meals a day.
Have a fortnight here & good as it is it will be long enough for me as it gets monotonous. When we first arrived we thought we could easily do a couple of months in such a fine place but it soon wore off & when I left on July 22nd was not altogether sorry to be going.
Went back to Moascar today, 22nd, arriving there at about 10 pm that night.
The Last of Ramadan has just finished & now the natives are having 5 days feasting to make up for what they have lost in the past
