First we chose to do ocean safari. We did it with Peri-Peri Divers. Don't ask me why they're named after spicy sauce, it has absolutely nothing to do with the ocean or the safari. I think they just love peri-peri out there. I once ordered peri-peri chicken thinking it was going to be like Nandos. This is coming from someone who gets lemon and herb by the way. I don't know why I didn't think to ask if it was spicy or not cause I always ask. The one time I assumed it wasn't going to be, they must've marinated the chicken in scotch bonnets for 48 hours prior to cooking it. I took about two bites and left the rest. My mouth was in pain. My insides felt like they were on fire. And before you think I'm a pussy, J ate my chicken and it made his eyes water. I mean it was nice, if you enjoy feeling like you've swallowed Satan whole.. and he shortly after starts lighting up your organs with a blow torch.
Side note: You have to go to restaurants before you're hungry out there. If you order chicken, I'm pretty sure they go out the back and hunt for it, kill it, skin it, then cook it. That's the only explanation as to why the food takes so long. But hey, at least it's fresh right?
The things ladies over there could balance on their heads was bloody impressive. This was nothing, once I saw a woman with a small table AND a chair on top of her head.
Ocean safari was really cool. We had to push the boat out on the water and the girls had to jump in first. Of course my arms failed me. Honestly I don't know why I bother going gym (I say that as if I go ham with the weights. I do not). It took us ages to find anything, so long that we thought we weren't going to at all. But in the end we got to see a couple humpback whales, dolphins and a turtle. My eyesight was pretty blurry cause my contacts popped out but luckily whales are kinda huge y'know? I'm blind but I'm not that blind.
We jumped in at some points and guys, I suck at snorkeling. I am so shit. Every time I tried to breathe underwater I got water in my mouth. At one point one of my flippers nearly came off my foot and I had to put them on whilst trying not to drown (I'm so dramatic). And what did I see at the end? Couple rocks. We jumped in when we saw dolphins too. J moved at ninja speed and got to see them up close but obviously I was too slow and missed the whole thing. So I saw some rocks again. It was still worth it though, I had a whale of a time.
Haha..
Get it?
... Sorry
Surfing? You could say I'm a professional. I stood on the board for about three seconds so I'm pretty much ready to apply to tournaments now. I got it in the bag I reckon.
No but all jokes aside it was so good. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. First we had to practice on sand (we must've looked like absolute bellends), and then when our instructor felt like we got our technique right he took us out in the water. For some reason it was impossible for me not to scream every time I fell off the board so I drank gallons of seawater and was probably on the brink of getting hypernatraemia, but I still had a great time. J was of course, way better than me. The bastard got it on like his second try. I was really proud of him.
I really wanted to do horse riding but the horses in Tofo were sick. We made a joke about them getting malaria but I just googled it and it's actually possible, horse malaria is called equine infectious anaemia. You learn something new everyday. Don't say I don't teach you nothin'!
I've just thrown random pictures in here. None of the pictures I have are relevant to what I'm talking about but I might as well make it aesthetically pleasing.
Did you know they call Inhambane 'The Land of Good People'? And it truly was. Everyone was so friendly. Every person I walked past always greeted me in some way. It made me smile, really warmed my heart. I wish people in London were like that.
I fell in love with Tofo. I wanted to stay there forever.
