Wading in the Indian Ocean!!

Due to really slow internet service right now, this will be a short post. Hopefully the picture will download.

Wednesday, there were 8 of us who loaded into a 7 passenger Land Rover and ventured on what we were told would be an 8 hour drive to the coast. WRONG!!! Our 8 hour trip turned out to take 15 hours. Remember the part where I said it was a 7 passenger vehicle... imagine 8 adults crammed in and then breaking down (TWICE). No airconditioning, no food... only the wishful thinking that the next hour would bring us closer to our destination.

We finally made it to Bagamoro at 11:30 P.M. In the morning we went out of our rooms and were so surpised by what we saw. We were on the beach. We didn't know we were staying at a resort on the beach. We were like little kids collecting seashells from the Indian Ocean.

Later we went to a few places and saw and learned about the slave trade. Bagamoro was the central location of the slave trade... another post on another day!
