Prison Island & Sandbar

I've treated myself to a hotel....a proper shower with hot water and a comfy bed that's not a single bunk is to die for!!! I went on a tour to Prison Island which was used as a 'Quarantine Island' for yellow fever cases - they now breed giant Aldabra tortoises on the island - massive as you can see.
 
Snorkeling over an old shipwreck was amazing, followed by lunch on a tiny island sandbank till the tide came in - absolutely stunning!!!
Hot water is luxurious...funny thing is - all the water is salt water here - including tap water. So even if the water is boiled for a cup of coffee or tea it tastes like salt water....amazing!!!
