looking back on pulau weh

one day we wake up to a really shinny sky, beautiful transparent water and bright sun :) we had breakfast at mama mia and by the time we finished our pancakes and coffee the rain had settled in... then it got a bit better. then a bit worst. then a bit better. we went over to pino's and had coffee and i thought i'd make it a reading game. the book i got from canadian jay on my flight to dubai is really good and i feel better reading it in the rain than in the sun because the book is set in a working camp in kazahkstan and it feels strange to read such words when i feel all tropical. we were having coffee with pashu and cedric, a really nice couple (french girl, american guy, married 6 months ago). even thought it was stormy, the boys decided to go for a swim and some snorkelling. me and pashu stayed at pino's. and then the storm got really mad. and it got even worst as the time passed... we ended up taking the guys' shoes to the other side of the island because that's where the current usually takes you. there was no side of them and by then pashu was already really worried... we walked back to pino's in the rain and by now the russian book was soaked wet, just like us. back at pino's there was also no sign of the boys. but the weather got a bit better so we relaxed. and had coffee with the sumatran version of condensed milk. then the real big storm came in..... and pashu was understandingly worried... she got a migraine and the pills for that were inside of the bungalow that could only be opened with the key that cedric had taken with him. and there was still no sign of them. they could have crossed the island in front of us as they were swimming towards it before... but they could as easily have been taken by a strong current... and to make things even better... that sea has sharks... so this was not a pretty sight of this sweet french girl thinking she could have lost the man she had just married... and of course in the end it was all fine and the guys came back saying they couldn't tell how bad the storm was from the water and all that and they had spent the time looking at the amazing blue and yellow fishes, corals and nemos...
but the whole thing made me think... how we sometimes make other people worry for us when it would be so easy to avoid it xx
