Inhaca 4/28

Our second day in Inhaca. A lazy morning, we woke up around 8ish and headed to breakfast. Finally a meal with something Eric could eat. We had some beans, eggs, toast, some pastries, tea, and pineapple juice. Part of our plan was to load up on breakfast and skip lunch. On trip-advisor, a person had complained that they had ordered a fancy seafood platter but it took over 2 hrs for the food to arrive and by that time, they had to leave for the boat ride home....

We took it easy today, stayed in our room and watched some TV while we cleaned up. Then went to the reception area to drop off our bags. Played some billiards and went out to soak up the sun on the pool deck. I went for a swim in the salt-water pool which was quite nice. We also walked a bit more along the beach but nothing too excessive.

At 2 PM, we got ready to get back onto the boat.

 one of the many fishing boats.

 A cool purplish spiny seastar. I moved it into a slightly larger pool of water.

Me doing some relaxing. 

Locals out fishing for crabs and clams.

The beginning of loading the boat to return home. Almost dangerously overloaded....

So the small speedboat pulls up to the side of the large boat. And no ropes or ladders, the passengers are just supposed to start pulling themselves up.

As this gentleman is doing quite well. Not an ideal place for skirts

amazingly everyone gets on board safely. The boat takes about 3 hrs to get back. We caught a cab and asked to be dropped off at a nearby restaurant outside our place where he promptly gulped down some milkshakes and food. A nice way to top off a nice weekend.

This will likely be my last post. We head out tomorrow afternoon. Will embark on a total of 35 hours of airport and airplane time. Maputo to Jo'burg, Jo'burg to Atlanta, and finally Atlanta back to San Diego. Will be good to be home.
