Today was an island day. We decided not to do any tours, but instead try out all of the amenities that the island has to offer. And relax. Relaxing was the emphasis for the first half of the day. I was able to get caught up on my blog posts, which I was far behind, and take a leisurely walk around the island. Everyone else did some shore snorkeling, but I decided to focus on taking pictures and lounging around.
After dinner, there was a local African drum circle with chanting. I am writing this as I listen, which is why you don't have to uffer through as much text. Just sit back and enjoy the pictures.
After lunch, we took some paddle boards out to test our balance.
I was happy that I was able to get up, and when I dove into the water
after a bit of paddling, I was surprised at how warm the water was. I
was expecting at least a little shock from the chill, but it was a
perfect temperature. We swam and paddled and played for an hour or so. I
even made a sand castle on my board from the pure white sand from the
ocean floor.
After paddling around, I took a quick shower, and
was going to go read on a hammock, but just outside my door I saw a
spotted eagle ray. We watched this swim around our hut for about thirty
minutes before it decided to try another hunting ground. I continued my
attempt to read, but got caught up in talking to Omar, one of our
bartenders. More people showed up, and eventually I gave up on all
pretenses of reading.
