This ought to be interesting trying to blog from my phone. I can't seem to get any pictures to come up, but I am not giving up.
Two days ago we took a boat ride out to a nearby protected island and Pam and I snorkeled for a little bit. Then we struggled to get back into the boat with the ladder that only came to the water level and I think a gymnast would have had trouble getting in the boat. It was not a pretty sight.
For an extra four dollars worth of fuel we went searching for the dolphins and found a pod of about 20.
There was another boat there and people were swimming with the dolphins but we were content just to watch so we wouldn't have to get hauled back into the boat.
Yesterday I took a 3 mile hike and got some good pictures of the fishing boats heading into the sunrise. After breakfast we took an hour and a half trip to Stonetown which was a big slave trading port city until 1873. We hired a guide who walked us around and pointed out and explained stuff. Bought some goop for my knees which are doing okay . It was muggy hot so we had lunch and found our driver to take us home via a grocery store and multiple fruit and veggie stands.
Got back at 4 and hit the pool.
After dinner we had another game of hearts with cards that were a few drops of water short of pulp. Once again I won, this time on a brilliant shoot the moon effort. Then the moon appeared right where the sun rose in the morning. More great pictures I can't share.
Tomorrow back to Johannesburg and start the safari the next day.
