Maitencillo, and it's sunny (but Ayfer gets attacked by sea monster)
Jan 6, 05:36 PM by Steve Gerrard
At last, we woke up to a beautiful blue sky, and after a hearty breakfast we pack our stuff, which doesn’t take long at all since all we brought with us was literally toothbrushes and beachgear.
Today was a day for serious sunbathing as we’ve got to at least look as if we’ve been on holiday before we get back some and we’re running out of days.
This photo below on surface of it looks like a shot where I say to Ayfer “do that running thing in the sea and look playful and sexy” However I can reveal that this shot is the moment when Ayfer was attacked by a vicious sea creature and she came within an inch of her life.

Something truely horrible and scary bit her on the toe during her first attempt at swiming in the Pacific ocean. The next picture is not for the feint hearted, but it reveals the true extent of the horrendous injuries that Ayfer suffered at the hands of the monster; the cut is almost 2mm long. (it’s the middle toe if you need it pointing out)

Fearing for her life Ayfer did not have another attempt at the ocean and spent the next hour complaining why the monster was not attacking all the other (hundreds) people. I however did not go in becuse it was too bloody cold.
We both got truely sunburnt (yes, even Ayfer) but its been a good day and long overdue. Tomorrow morning we get a flight from Santiago to Rio for our final stop before returning home. Lets hope the sun can last!
