While heading to the take-off point for island hopping we had a major flat tyre and had to change to the spare…this seems to be a regular occurrence on our island trips! We still made the island hopping round the “three kings” (Tres Reyes) islands though. The biblical three kings are Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, and later on our holiday we were told (by our trekking guide) that the islands were formed from the wrecks of the ships of three kings who were suiters for a princess. This sketch was done on the first island. We didn’t stop at the second island, but stopped at the third for snorkelling (seeing clown and angel fish)…and then had a noisy pump-boat trip back to the mainland, for an hour or so.
