A couple of female work colleagues had organized a chartered boat trip to Mouscha Island for some snorkeling and sunbathing. The trip cost 7000 Djiboutian Francs. I bought $100 worth of Djiboutian Francs and received 17750 DJF ($1 = 177 DJF). The group left at 0845 and arrived with time to spare in front of the Djibouti Naval Base. Our charter arrived at a floating dock and picked us up. The ride over to the Island took about 20 minutes and soon we were a world away lying down on lounge chairs catching up on sleep and reading, etc.
Around 11:00 am I went snorkeling in the cove and enjoyed seeing some tropical fish and long stands of seaweed. At 13:00 lunch was served - a small salad and cold pizza followed by a beef dish in tomato sauce with some mushy peas and saffron rice. I had some water and coffee to go with it. A piece of pie (apple?) was served for desert.
After some exploring, reading and sleeping, we headed back at 17:00. Back for a hot shower and a good night's sleep.
