Today we snorkeled in the Indian Ocean. (Wow that’s a sentence I never thought I would type.) We saw:
tons of coral,
schools of fish,
some giant sea slug looking things (1 foot long and several inches thick)
and something that resembled 2-3 foot (but thin) bottom-feeding snakes.

The water on the west coast of the island is very shallow with no waves – only a few feet deep – due to a coral reef that looks like it is several hundred yards from the shore.

The brunch buffet at the hotel is extensive. New foods we tried included aloe vera yogurt, fresh passion fruit, and the crepe pancakes were served with toasted sweetened coconut, banana purée and lots of other options.

In the afternoon we attended a company meeting where Archbishop Desmond Tutu was the guest speaker. What an inspirational and adorable (and I say that in the most respectful way) man. He left me speechless and wanting more. Grammy award winner Angelique Kidjo was the musical entertainment and watching her dance with Desmond Tutu in the aisles of the auditorium is something I’ll never forget.

After a few piña coladas at the bar, we headed to dinner at Domaine Anna was good and it could have been better if it wasn’t for the 1980s cover band.

The adventure continues tomorrow!
