This is the real bit of R and R of the trip.
We arrived at Matemwe Camp rather late on Wednesday evening just in time for dinner. It consists of a series of traditional one room houses, of which we have one, scattered round a beach site with separate buildings for the dining room, bar & etc. The camp was founded by a couple of Swedish ladies in the 1980’ties and is built on the NE side of the island, very much away from anywhere. People come and go on a daily basis, quite a few from Dubai on half term break.
No air conditioning so with the rather humid heat, one soon adapts to doing things rather slowly. There is an excellent chef who produces light gourmet meals, a bar made out of an old dhow and a couple of swimming pools.
So life revolves round swimming, snorkelling out beyond the reef, around 800 metres off the beach, eating, drinking, reading our books and snoozing. In all, a real battery charging existence. Everyone is very friendly.
We continue our homeward journey tomorrow with a short flight to Nairobi Wilson.
