Howdy doo,
I have neglected my blogsite, I know. I am a failure. But in all honesty I have been drowning in work and I barely get anything done because we never have power. It's all good. I'm pretty much done at this point, though I can't say I'm not going to burn my paper when I leave because it's really not very good. Ohhhhwell...
The other day I paid a hefty 25 buckaroonies to go to Nosy Tanikely and Nosy Komba on a tour boat. I figured since it'll be my last outing on Nosy Be, I might as well go somewhere nice and pay a bit more. Komba was a dissapointment. It's a beautiful island but the part we were in is far too touristy for my taste. We went to the pathetic Lemur Parc and then headed towards Tanikely. As soon as I got off the boat I trudged into the water with my snorkel and flippers 5and socks because of my blisters). I spent a good 2 hours out in the water and saw incredible things. It was as if it were my first time again, I was so amazed by the colrs and the creatures. Isaw a beautiful HUGE puffer fish and was very tempted to annoy it till it puffed, but then I decided against it and just watched the incredible fish. I saw several marine turtles, but they were all very suspicious of me. I be the other turtles I had seen my first time in Tanikely told these guys how I grabbed their shells and swam with them, so now these guys have been keeping an eye outfor me. I hung out with one turtle for so long he had to come up for air. I floated so that my mask was partially inundated and I could see his head pop out of the water and hear a couple of gasps as he refilled his lungs. Then he went under again into that miraculous submerged world. I saw some huge triggerfish; who are really intimidating, and some a barracuda who wouldn't move when I swam near him. So I didn't cus he has big teeth.
The current was relatively strong on my way back so I got to lunch late, but it wasstill soooo yummy. We had barracuda, shrimp, crab (mmm), safron rice, potato salad, bread, papaya, bananas and oranges...ooo it was so good. That meal alone would have cost 100 plus dollars in the US, no doubt.
Anyway, it was a good trip if you dismiss the horribleguides (i'll mention them some other time). Tomorrow afternoon we head back to Tana and have a few days before going down to Fort Dauphin. Time is quickly running out...
Speaking of time, I have to get going and finish a few things. Love you all,
Sandra
