Apart from the gazebo set up in the main road about 100m away, blasting music from their soundsystem til the early hours.
Xmas celebrations are in full swing here already.
Dont think Xmas carols though. Here its Dominican music and the occasional house tune!
The girl who is looking after me every morning, told me the other day that there might be a place for rent down the road, on the side of town.
I asked Marika to take a look for me and see what she can find.
She got back to me this afternoon.
The place is bigger than what i have now, just one big open room, with a new double bed in the one corner, a small open plan kitchen with gas cooker and fridge in the other end, and a bathroom.
There's no tv, or tv cable, but apart from that, sounds good. And is half the price of what i'm paying here too!
Have told her to tell them i will take it.
I paid up in full here yesterday, and the month here takes me through to tomorrow, so it works out perfectly!
Not gonna get too excited just yet though. Once i am moved in i can relax.
I sent a copy of my new xrays to my parents back home in South Africa, and they had a specialist look at them and see what he thinks.
The news wasn't great. He needs to see me personally to give his full opinion, but he hinted that the job is not great and that i would possibly need another operation!
Not exactly the news a was wanting to hear, but at least i have some sort of idea now.
I wont be able to leave here for a while yet, so will carry on with all my exercises and trying to get better as soon as possible, til i can leave. Then i reckon heading back home, and see what the 1st world doctors can do?
If i need another op, it unfortunately means rebreaking the bones, and back in a cast again, which means everything i am doing at the moment is a waste of time. But, i refuse to think of that now. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it...
On a happier note, i have started teaching myself, through Youtube tutorials, how to make music using the pc.
A dj in London for the last 10 years, this has always been a dream of mine, but i could never find the time.
Now i have plenty.
Courses in learning this stuff run into the thousands of pounds, so i think i will be pretty limited as to how far i can go off of the internet alone, but it is keeping me busy, and i am really enjoying it.
I have always found music something that can take me away from any situation and put a smile in my heart.
Dj'ing with my mates are some of the happiest memories i have.
I sold all my equipment to fund this trip, so am really missing playing on the decks. Its been almost a year now since i last played.
But this music creation thing has really grabbed me.
I have hardly watched tv in the last 2 days.
I had just reached the point in my injury spell here where i was starting to lose that positivity that i have been trying hard to hold onto.
But that is back now.
I have found my inner peace.
Once again the music has lifted my mood...
