The
residency in Pulau Palambak has been the longest time we've stayed
put in one place – so long that we've managed to create ourselves a
daily routine. It begins with a morning swim (P.P. is close to being
the most perfect place for swimming we've ever visited), a shower,
followed by three-pancake breakfast, after which we rest for a couple
of hours before the lunchtime swim (usually with goggles and snorkel
– and a t-shirt to protect from the scorching sun). Then lunch,
which normally consists of fish or other protein source, stir-fried
vegetables, rice, and fruit for dessert. After lunch we rest, read
and occasionally brush our verandah clean of the sand we bring in
between our toes, until it's time for an evening swim, and dinner at
sunset. After dinner we retreat to our cottage again, and under the
mosquito net, as the flying beasts are especially fierce on this
island.
However,
today the routine was disrupted. A demanding Dutch guest did not want
to have pancakes for breakfast, and as it was a whole lot easier for
Anas to cook the same thing for everyone, we got:
- fried rice with vegetables
- fried egg
- salted peanuts
- cucumber & tomato slices
- shrimp crackers
- tea
Having
started the day in an out of the ordinary fashion, we kept making
more exceptions: after lunch (which was served an hour later as
usual) we were struck by an urge to be active, so we went kayaking.
