update

as we packed our bags and loaded up with 8 people in the care we
headed off to peponi ( a resort on the indian ocean). there is 2
people in the front of the land cruiser, 3 in the back seat and 3 in
the back section. we were all crowded in the car.when we passed tanga
( check a map) the road turns gravelly and rutted. we bounce around
for 30 whole kilometers but we do see wild monkeys. weturn into peponi
and everyone cheers. as soon as wegoth there we suit up and going
swimming. the water is like a hot tub. we find sweet shells the next
day when we walk up the beach.after the beach walk we start out to a
sand island that only forms when the tide goes out in a small local
sailing boat called the pepi.but before we leave we get flippers and
snorkels because we are stopping at a reef to go snorkeling. the boat
can hold up to 25 people.as we get close to the reef i get all geared
up. i am the third one in. i start of only seeing a blue and yellow
fish, then i come up because the flipper is jabbing into my foot.
after 5 minutes i go back in and see, blue , yellow , rainbow fish and
even black and white fish .it reminds me of Finding Nemo, by the way i
saw a DORY. this looks like the place where graffiti artists get their
colours.i also saw coral like a brain maze and is called Brain
Coral.one of the coolest things i saw was a fish that lives in
anenomes like nemo there were also sea urchins and alarge sea snake.we
climbed back into the boat and off we went to the sand island. was
also was laso like a hot tub there. the water sky blue. griffin and
i tried to do a lap around the isaland crawling with just our arms
in the water. then we had lunch .i had a BLM.peponi makes the
greatest BLM ( bacon , letuuce , mayonaise) sandwich.
after that we boared the boat and headed off to the camsite.After we
returned we ahd dinner. the next morning i went to the pool, then had
breakfast, monkeys were about to steal our toast . but never did and
that ends the peponi trip
