Day 318 – Saturday 11th December 2010

The sky is clear this morning, not a cloud to be seen. That is good news as we are off for a day trip snorkelling and a picnic.

A hearty breakfast was had before we embarked upon a traditional dhow boat at 10am.

After a 30 minute motor against the tide we arrived at a small Indian Ocean reef. Just us, our guide and our boat.P1010870

WOW!

There are so many fish, and so many colours. As a nature geek I was fascinated by the different swimming techniques of the fish, Armorel not so much.

The next two hours we spent floating around this tropical oasis. Truly jaw dropping.

Exhausted but wanting to stay down for ever we climbed back into our boat and headed off for a picnic lunch.P1010881

We have our own private island with a huge spread of food, and china plates. (Armorel was very excited by this)

The afternoon soon disappeared as we slept, read and swam, before we left for the hotel, but this time sailing across the seas with a peaceful southerly wind.

And to finish off our majestic day we were treated to a private dinner on a deck above the ocean, where we enjoyed 4 courses of exquisite food.

A magnificent day!
