It has been a rough couple of days. Plenty of snorkeling, diving, walking through the island and of course, chilling in the sun. This place has proved to be beautiful in many ways.
We finally got the chance to use the diving gear! It’s a mix between snorkel and scuba, mostly known as hookah. Nivi and Guido tried it, and loved it. Although we did not go deeper than six or seven meters, It was really interesting to use it here, as the visibility is really good. The outer part of the atoll has an incredible combination of corals and life, healthier than many places we’ve seen before. This is the season where the turtles start to go up the beach to lay their eggs. During the night, they crawl up through the sand to where they think it’s suitable, dig a hole and deposit their future younglings, that will hatch in about a month or so. We had the chance to see the prints of said act in the morning.
Also, we had a thunderstorm last night. A delightful display of thunder and lights on the horizon that we enjoyed while tasting Sue’s spaghetti bolognese, something to remember, both for the food and the scenery. It didn’t really hit here, but there is another one coming today. So, we secured the things on deck just in case.
Guido’s side note: after giving it a lot of thought, I have to say that both Andrew and Sue’s pasta is equally exquisite and heart warming.
Tomorrow is our last day here, and we will try to make the most out of it!
