Day 26 – Kande Beach

Our upgraded room didn’t turn out to be as good as I hoped. It was nice having extra space and electrical outlet but the bed wasn’t any more comfortable than my mat in the tent, particularly with the mosquito net hanging directly around it. It was also hotter inside the room than outside and there was a bright light just outside the door that attracted a swarm of small flies that landed on me while unlocking the door.
After breakfast I rented a snorkel set with flippers and attempted to swim to an island 800 meters into the lake to go snorkeling. I made it made 50 meters and turned around and rented a canoe instead. Swimming is not my strong suit. At the island I jumped off another big rock about 5 metres high, this time I screamed all the way down. I also saw a ton of little colourful fish while snorkeling around the island. I ended up with a scorching sunburn all over my back from snorkeling.
In the evening we dressed up in costumes from the village and had a punch party. We passed away the night dancing on the bar and skinny dipping.
