Monday 8th August



Hey everyone it's the dream team here (Liv and Lucy✨) !!!
After a relaxing day on Sunday, we woke up early to see the sunrise over the mountains and pack our tents up to leave.

Today, we headed off in Tilly to kayak to our own island for the two days: Domwe island. Kayaking here was quite hard work and a bit scary at first. But we all became pros and our efforts were rewarded by how amazing the island is. Kira and Ellie were the first to arrive in an amazing 5km in 45 minutes! Shortly followed by everyone else.

We are staying in safari tents on decks with beautiful views of the lake.
After we settled in, we had lunch where Liv had a traumatic experience...as I sat down to eat my large cheese roll, Lucy said "watch out!" just as I TROD on a lizard. All I saw was it run away WITHOUT a tail! I went into shock as I didn't realise that it was a defence mechanism and thought I had killed it. However everyone else found it quite amusing (when Liv and the lizard had recovered).

Then we had the afternoon to either explore the island, kayak, sun bathe or shower. At 5pm we gathered together and went on a hike up the hill with a guide. We reached a giant rock with a ladder and (some much more daring than others) climbed on top to watch the stunning sunset. Once we were back to camp, we had down time followed by a dinner of fish freshly caught just for us. D-)-)-D (Kay's old sky fish emoji)

  1. good to hear you all made it to the island. LOL to hear Kira and Ellie were first to arrived with an 'amazing' time of 45 min. Well done both, not that it would have been a competition or anything. Hope Kira you also went up the ladder to see the sunset. A freshly caught fish dinner sounds like a great way to finish the day. Love to all. Maggz and Stephen
