Our first day in Cape Mclear: I went hiking with Dan who insisted on getting us snorkeling gear for the afternoon. Unfortunately Biscuit discovered that he was asking more than double the normal rate and that was the end of any future business deals with him. He refused to give our money back and from then on we were known as the two bitches. But we did get our snorkeling stuff and went to Otter’s point. (Did I mention that she’s an attorney)
I got a bit sunburned and after watching Biscuit eat some local fish (she claims she’s never tasted better fish) and howl at the full moon, I went to bed. There was a huge party on at Fat Monkeys and after a while Biscuit and Amy decided they can’t sleep with all the music and rowed over – whether to tell them to turn the volume down a bit or join the party I still don’t know. And they weren’t back for two minutes on the island before the music was turned up again.
The 4th day: I think after four days in Cape Mclear I’ve got into the Africa rhythm. My plan was to swim to Fat Monkeys and back but after swimming for about 200m I turned back to get the boat and to do some bird watching. And after a bit of snorkelling and watching the sun rise Amy got us some fish to feed the fish eagles and it was really awesome to watch the magnificent birds.
After we got back to Fat Monkeys, we met Darren, a fellow South African working in Blantyre Central Africa got to us and instead of walking we drove with Darren’s nice 4X4.
The 5th day: Everyone was just hanging around – and when the roof of the kitchen started to burn everyone carried on as if nothing happened and 10 minutes later the cook was back in his kitchen.
On our way back, Darren was kind enough to take us for a hike in Zomba. He was also kind enough to let us stay at his place and took us to the airport the next day. What an adventurous trip!
