Changuu

Yesterday we took a short trip to visit Changuu Island (also called Prison Island - it has ruins of an old prison that was never actually used as such, but during the 1900s was used as a quarantine station for all of East Africa) to see the giant tortoise sanctuary and do some snorkeling. It has unfortunately become privatized and thus full of an unreasonable number of Italian tourists, but seeing the tortoises was amazing and the snorkeling was great.



We got there right at tortoise lunchtime so we got to feed them some yummy leaves. They must work up an appetite carrying around 400 pounds all day!





It was also Becky's 21st birthday yesterday, so I of course had to buy her a celebratory beer at lunchtime.


Baadaye!
