Brilliant, day three in this new paradise, and the night was going along sweet. Having a chill out with a local brew and a chicken wrap and everything was kosher. Having a look at some emails and watching a video seemed the thing to do, then all of a sudden, darkness. Total and utter darkness I haven’t seen since Baghdad 2004 when the insurgents hit the power supplies.

To you all (you know who you are)
