Thanks for your answers.
Yes, it has been indeed a very relaxing spot. 200 meters in diameter and nothing on it but a small hut built with coconut leafs. A coral reefs around, humpback wales on the horizon, laying in a hammock fixed between two palm trees and an EReader in one hand.
Ah, and the island wasn’t called "Gilligans Island" ;-) . It's situated in the Tongan area.
A major part of planning the trip was the question of
literature. And there an EReader can play out its best card. It would not be possible to carry 30 books (you never know exactly what you want to read on such a different spot) in the aeroplane. If I wouldn’t have had the reader this experience would have been much different. But with good literature you can stay a long time.
Waking up in the hammock, reading an hour in the morning, watching wales on the horizon, catching fishes between corals when snorkelling, cooking fishes on the open fire, reading, drink some whiskey and go to “bed”. In 4 weeks (not always on that island) several books have been read out.
I even carried important “papers” on the reader, partly for backup, partly just on the reader alone:
copy of passport, copy of bills, permissions, time table for flights, addresses and telephone numbers, info brochures, lonely planet for that area, small dictionary, book with reef fishes (a bit hard to use because in nature fishes aren’t grey…), survival book (wasn’t necessary at all) and much more. And it was indeed necessary to have that backups and information.
Blue 350: thats my second 350. The reader mostly for indoor. Compared against the silver one the blue looks more valuable. I like it!
