Why the big paws?

[updated]

So, I was going to note something funny or interesting each day, oh well. My main memories of the trip so far have been:
  • tiredness - from almost psychotically tired after a literally infinite, no exaggeration, amount of time packing and moving-out followed by three days of travelling and jetlag, getting never more than a couple of hours kip at a time before being awake for several more hours; to merely extremely tired after diving in this heat and so micro-sleeping at the table waiting for our food or just going to bed and falling asleep at 6pm;
  • how boring BBC World is - it is just about all repeats and trails for things which might be interesting if you only knew when they would be on in my time-zone;
  • and, of course the diving, which has been spectacular, with much more colour/diversity/coverage of life than the Red Sea - coral, fish and more nudibranchs than I have ever seen in total.
  • [update] the variety and size of the anemones is amazing too - and the clown anenomefish, some of those mothers are just huge!

Allegedly it is the best diving in the world, oh well, off to Truk/Chuuk tomorrow and the Great Barrier Reef a couple of weeks later, so we’ll see...
