The water is a crystal swaying in the breeze. The island is my home with all the animals I know. The water is a smooth crystal on its own. I see the turtles popping their heads out of the water to say hello to me.
The reef sharks are also gliding through the water with their tips well out of the water and chasing fish. The sand between my toes is heaven and is as soft as fairy floss and white as teeth.
The rainbow fish are a sparkle in the water and the coral trout as well. Behind all that is the strong big Blue Fin Tuna hunting them down.
The caves are down below where the Moray Eels come in and out waiting to strike. The sea snakes are in the shallows, and you should really watch your toes.
The old historic volcano is a trek. But I can walk and walk and walk and will soon find the yoga deck. The palm trees are taller than Giraffes as the coconuts as big as bowling balls fall landing with a thump.
The white coral is camouflaged with the white sand. And the crabs scatter hole-to-hole pinching my toes. The caves are the best where I can rest under the cool shade away from the warm air.
The smell of Lovo reached my nose and it smelt like heaven. Playing coconut bowling is the best, with sticks as pins. The fresh cool coconuts to refresh after a walk, a cure to the heat.
The seaweed is old and crusty but the ones on the water are like very wet mops after being soaked with a bucket of fresh water. The little waves from the wind hit the rocks and coral in the water.
