Dave & Margs' Travels

The days at Otto and Fanny's were spent lazing around, reading (we have never read so many books one after the other), chilling out and snorkelling. The food continued to be good (one meal was a fresh cod-type fish in a sauce - very yummy) and the conversations at dinner with our fellow guests were interesting. One girl left and so there was just 5 for dinner and 3 of us rattling around during the day - well just us two when Jennifer was at her diving course. We went on a trip to an island which had a cave in it which had formed underwater and over loads of years had risen up. You could swim under a bit of rock into a darker cave so we did that with the help of the guides torch. The trip was possitively crowded with about a dozen of us there. The boat trip was interesting as there are reefs all around and so waves break in the middle of the ocean for no apparent reason. You would see a small hump on the horizon which may at first look like a distant island and then you would see it rise up and change to white as the distant wave had broken.

We continued to get up for sunrises but we were unlucky with the clouds. We also went snorkelling as often as the tide was suitable. We found more reef and enjoyed our time snorkelling around looking at the varied fish until we went snorkelling on our last day. We were chased by a fish of a kind we had seen before. We swam away and were further up when we were chased by the same fish again. Dave laughed and nearly chocked as I paniked as it came towards me and I headed to the beach. On our final trip ourt, again at a different bit of the reef it came for me again and I laughed as I headed for shore. Shortly after I laughed even more as I saw Dave make a mad dash for the beach. We can only think he was protecting it's young as we did see minatures of it around. And how big was this fish...?

About 6 inches!! :-)
