17/10 Slept in until 8.30 or so... just in time for breakfast. Went on this coffee plantation excursion with Norm and Richard. Nice morning...

After dinner we went to the little bar again, where we met the saxophone player yesterday. This time we also brought a guitar and Kerry, so.... making music it was. Next to the sax player a reggae playing singer was there too and another guitar player showed up later. He was really good. Would have loved to jam with him with ...
