Our plans today were to go snorkling, so we woke up early. Had a great little breakfast of eggs, fresh fruit & toast & got a ride north with our driver Soloman. After a long drive we arrived at a beautiful beach. We being Jason, Sam, our new friend Alex, Chris & Me. The tide was out when we got there so we got our snorkling gear & hiked a bit through all these tide pools with various sea creature hanging out in them. We got in our boat & rode out about a mile or 2 off shore. Where the Mzungu feeding frenzy was going on. About 7 or 8 boats were chasing down a couple of Dolphin. When the boats got close the Wazungu(many white people) Jump in or rather on the dophins to swim with them. Jason & Alex jumped in & got pretty dam close. I was of the opinion that the dolphin should be left alone & stayed on the boat. It just didnt seem right..So we suggested going & checking out a near by reef. Here I jumped in to realize my face masy was faulty..While in the water trying to fix it. I for some reason remeberd theis footage I once saw of a woman being attacked by a great white off the coast of Africa. I promptly swam to the boat & got some sun while the rest of the gang checked out the reef.
After that we went to the Jozani Forest where we saw monkeys & walked through a mahogony forest. We were like 5 feet away from the monkeys. Pretty dam cool wild African monkey just hanging out with us..
That evening we went to the new Africa Hotel for drinks. Sam, Jason, Chris, me & our cute friend Alex All went. There we met a cool male nurse who worked in the DRC(Congo). Also met a cute gal named Laurel who was sitting alone & we asked to join us. Laurel was teaching sustainable agriculture to people who had Aids. Very cool everyone we meet here is doing humanitarin work.
All of a sudden I began to feel...a bit Malarial fever, aches, chills. While feeling crappy our friends from France arrived. We chatted them up for a while & then Jason & I walked them home to the pyramid hotel. After we got lost & walked around till we finally found a guy nice enough to show us where our hotel was..
