Today three of us (myself, Maddie from Reading and Mona from Germany) went on a snorkeling trip to Wasini Island. It's near the coast of Tanzania, about an hours drive and another hour out on the boat. We snorkled along the coral reef with Parrot Fish, Angel Fish, lots of other bright and colourful fish I don't know the names of and a sea turtle. It swam with us for ages and came up for air a couple of times then swam around some more, it was really beautiful. From the boat we saw dolphins leap out of the water a couple of times. They were really far away which is a shame but at least we saw them! In the afternoon we went for lunch on Wasini Island, it has just over 1000 inhabitants and a very posh hotel for the tourists. Starter was crab which is served with a mallet-that was fun! Then a whole grilled white snapper-yum! After lunch we went for a tour of the village, it's small and basic but everyone there is very friendly. The kids follow you around and try and sell you shells or ask you for sweets. Again, I've got a lot of pictures but not enough internet credit to put them online!
I've seen the news about the Somali Pirattes, don't worry, they are a really really long way from here, I'm safe and sound!
