Went to a beautiful island today. Surrounding the island is a Marine National park. The snorkelling is amazing. Fish and coral were awesome. Saw some bottle nose dolphins.
The trip itself was a living nightmare of german tourists. I felt slightly outnumbered! Being a girl on my own has its downsides as well as its upsides though. I spent a lot of the day fending off the guide of the trip. But it's amazing how quickly the guys dissapear when you tell them you have a boyfriend or even better you are married!
Actually, instead of camals i have been asked how many cows for marriage. The standard dowry here for the massai people is 30 cows. I explained it would be difficult to take them home on the plane and that mum and dad don't really need any cows so i politely declined the offer.

what do you mean mum and dad don't need cows....................there's plenty of room in the orchard and it would cut down on the mowing for dad - i think you are worth at least 50!! love you and miss you chebs mum
