Happy Birthday - Mike in Dubai and Jean in Joburg.
After our usual delicious breakfast we headed down to the beach, no surprise there.
Just below the horizon is a reef that causes waves out there but calms the waters within. The result is that we have this giant sized turquoise swimming pool to play in all day. The sea sand is fine and white and when we take a break from the dipping in the warm waters, we tan on the sand or rock in the hammocks under the tropical trees. Gray is still keeping us highly amused with his frequent and ungainly dismounts.
Apparently this beach was voted by Elle Magazine as the best beach in the world, a few years ago.
I bonded with the girls today, we spent ages chatting and throwing a ball around in the water. Robs spends hours in the water and only eventually only came in just before dark. The boys alternated between taking dips and walks on the beach, until it was Kili time, they then wandered up to beach pub. Kirst and I joined them for cocktails, which are made with freshly squeezed juices. We chatted to Cathy (the owner) and Mark (her partner) about juggling life and work in the UK and Zanzibar; they have it right, a few months here and a few months there.
After chilli prawns and chocolate brownies for dinner we headed off to bed, it’s amazing how being ‘so energetic’ can tire one out.
