Day 48 - “Would you like to go the island? Maybe tomorrow?

Cape Maclear, Gecko Lounge.

A morning walk through the village turned up a few very small local shops and souvenirs but refreshingly no hard sell. This is reserved for the boat owners who want to charge you $25 each to take you on a 10 minute boat ride to an uninhabited island, leave you there for a few hours and then come and collect you – we decided to give it a skip and relax on our own little bit of beach outside our chalet instead.

The area still has some authentic African village atmosphere, I wonder how it will change in the next 10 years or so? As it’s Saturday, the place is now full of children - playing, yelling, screaming, singing - so you can’t really say we’re getting as much peace and quiet as we’d hoped!
