Day 6: just chillin
Spent the whole day lounging about. Managed to secure $2000 from the tour leader, Mattie. That’s quite an IOU, but it saves me the hassle of trekking to town for forex. We’ll sort it out in Mozambique.
Did some much needed maintenance on the photo gear, geo tagged the pics (YES! Thanks Leandra and Mom for getting me that stupid Bluetooth code. It was 0000. Not 1234, 123456, 12345, fuckfuckfuckit or any other variant). So all that is now locked and loaded, by the time you read this I should have pics online! So go check it out, I hope the geo-tags work ok, I can’t test it without interwebs.
Lots of monkeys here, so you have to watch your stuff like a hawk. Cleaned out the Bullet, hosed it down a bit, sweeped the seats, wiped the dashboard, rewired some gadgets. Took a rather cold shower, but at least I’m clean (relative). My beard is coming on nicely and I’ve been told that “it’s not the biggest deal in the world if I don’t shave it”. Which is about the closest my wife will come to admitting she likes the rugged look.
Ate peanut butter sandwiches (while drooling monkeys watched on) on the shore. Going to bake some more beer bread tonight, we managed to secure some fish from a local (obviously after much bartering). He’s also gonna organise a snorkelling trip for us tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to that. Pretty shit that I never bought the underwater housing for the side arm (Canon G9) but where would I have put it?? That said, I did bring a lot of crap I don’t need, but it’s still early days.
Sitting here under the shade of a tree, curious monkeys all around me. I found a pocket rocket in the Bullet, and my aim is pretty spot on. But these little guys are way too quick.
Nothing more to report right now, going to go make some chow and kick back. I’m really enjoying this tropical weather, soft surf, tiki-huts and gentle warm breeze. Even the monkeys are cute! Need to cover up for the mozzies though, malaria is a biatch.
