Went to Chole Bay Marine Park on Saturday and went snorkelling. The sea was amazing, really clear and so many different fish and coral to see. Martin was squealing like a girl for the first 10 minutes which scared most of the fish away but he finally managed to use his snorkel without ingesting half the Indian Ocean and really enjoyed it!
We left Mafia at 6am on Sunday but couldn’t get to Kilwa in one day so stayed overnight in a small town; Ikwiriri. At a stop over in a place called Bungu, there was the public flogging of a local man taking place which was awful, we think he’d been caught stealing and this was the local way of dealing with criminals. When we arrived in Ikwiriri there was only one place to stay; which turned out to be a brothel and had Sean Paul and other fake reggae music banging out til 4am!
Finally after an horrific journey yesterday we arrived in Kilwa with bumped heads (from flying out of our seats along the road filled with huge potholes) and stiff necks. We are camping by the beach and woke up to the sound of the ocean this morning and enjoyed a breakfast of eggs and wieners (the owners are German) which was a welcome meal after eating biscuits for breakfast the past two mornings! Ah, Africa.
Boo,
