Cliff diving + Snorkeling + Beach Games (avoiding Bilharzia)


Had breakfast with the 3 Finnish guys and a Swedish boy (he was working at the build-site of a school in Zambia, near Lake Tanganyka) at a place near our hostel. The waiter confused our order of 5 eggs on toast and 1 pancake with 5 eggs on toast and 7 pancakes (buck up!)

We met a group of Norwegians that were working on a government-run sports program throughout Zimbabwe. (This fact will turn relevant later on my trip). 
I felt kind of sleepy after that long meal.

Some hours later boat trip was on. We first went to the cliff diving site. It was rather hard to climb and there worms on the lower part of the rocks which wasn't nice at all. When I got to the top I felt the adrenalin rush of the climb, though the drop wasn't that high.

Snorkeling was a bit of a turn-off but it woke me up.
On the way to the beach we fed some fish-eagles and watched them hunt, impressive!
Last but not least, we relaxed on the beach and played a game that goes something like this:
Three sticks parallel to each other and every round they get separated from each other further more.
The last to do the 3 jumps between the sticks wins.
I got 5th place out of 30, not bad, 2nd out of the girls.
Not bad!

For dinner had Chicken Satay in Kaya Papaya, that was OK. Played two UNO matches and went to sleep.
