Tanzanian Travels - Lazy Lagoon

This one is a bit out of sync due to me deleting it by mistake. Anyway J and Z having their morning Chai (tea)

The view of the beach outside our banda on Lazy Lagoon

Simon and Zara on the boat ride to Lazy Lagoon

Pam and Joshua on the same boat :)

Our "home" for the five nights. The loft area was where J and Z slept. They thought it was pretty exciting.

We set the kids a challenge to make the biggest sandcastle. Of course the Mums and Dads were involved too. This one we made outside our banda so we could watch the tide come in and dismantle it. Even on the day we left the sandcastle still stood with only some battering from the ocean.

Gives you some perspective on how big the sandcastle was :)

At 7am we had Chai (tea) delivered to our Banda. J and Z got really into. Very milky tea with sugar in it. Even now they still ask for some. I don't tell them that at home they only get warm milk with a little sugar...cuts out the caffeine :)

Zara loved looking for starfish in the many pools when the tide was out. Trying to carry them all was not quite so easy.

The nets were soon abandoned when they were told the starfish wouldn't do them any harm

J and Z with Rahel. The managed to carry 12 starfish between them colouring from red to green to grey.

Z drawing pictures in the sand.

A morning of kayaking with our friends. Zara wanted to be as big as the other kids and use a paddle

Joshua and I senting off on an adventure against the tide. He talked the whole way....if he had used his paddle as much goodness knows where we would have ended up :)
