Well I’ve just had one of life’s more energetic massages! No pleasantly drifting off to sleep – she was exceedingly firm! Plus the added sand means I am very well exfoliated. I am also a bit pink today – the breeze means you never quite realise how strong the sun is and my new itsy bitsy bikini has given me comedy tan lines – hmmm potentially not a good look.
Other things I mean to wrie about but keep forgetting: Tanzania has been a bit of a fruit adventure. I;ve tried mango (not as sweet as at home so therefore much nicer), papaya, passionfruit (too many pippy bits although the flavour is quite nice), even oranges (just to suck the juice out of) plus tons of pineapple and watermelon – mmm. Okay not an exciting adventure for most people but quite exciting for me. Oh I’ve also eaten avocado like a fruit here which was a bit odd although to my mind they don’t let them ripen enough.
The other thing I’ve noticed is the really good clouds you get here. Admittedly they don’t have many clouds but the ones they do have are almost perfect: all white a fluffy and like the clouds you draw when you’re little. I spent quite a long time watching clouds yesterday (trying not to read too fast) and it was really interesting how bits of clouds would break off and then dissolve – there’s probably a scientific term for it but I just know it was pretty to watch.
I have spied a new single person today so hopefully we can add her to our sad singles group or I can make a bid for freedom. I’ve ordered a seafood platter tonight which I’m very excited about but I don’t want it to be spoiled by strained conversation – truth is Mr Norway and I have kind of peaked on the chatting front.
