The next day we went to a beach on a small island nearby. We snorkeled, played Frisbee and ate fresh seafood on the beach! The third day we decided to go and stay at a beach called Paje.
Our hotel was right on the beach, and the floors in our rooms were the sand! We swam, read and danced to African music. The warm, shallow water makes kite surfing very popular there.
Very early on the morning of the fifth day, we journeyed to the island's southern tip. There we met a fisherman, who, when he saw us, said, "Are you ready to swim with dolphins?" Dolphins! He told us the dolphins came every morning to eat and play. So we rode out and waited in the boat until we saw a dolphin fin.
The fisherman drove the boat near the dolphins and urged us to jump in. So we did! The dolphins were shy, but we could hear them talking to each other. Eventually they swam closer. One came so close I could have touched it!
