The Good, The Bad and the Tugly
October 7-9, 2012
THE GOOD:
On the last full day on the island of Zamami we rented kayaks and an obligatory guide to paddle around some islands , stopping to have lunch and snorkel in a couple of places.
It was a far tamer day than we had imagined but still enjoyable. Our guide , K., was a novice guide and was reluctant to let us snorkel without a lifejacket on. Such a joke!! The water here is so buoyant that the day before I had needed 3 lead ...

It was very hot Sunday, and the heat on the castle stones was overwhelming. Shekar and I decided we needed something to drink. I'm sure we were ...
