10/04/10


Today we arrived in paradise. When Emma’s parents were here visiting they spent some time at the Dolphin lodge at Zavora beach and got to know John and Yvette, the wonderful couple who, along with some other people, own and run Dolphin Lodge. Since then, Yvette and John have been gracious and generous to invite Emma, Ann, and me to their own Tsene Lagoa Eco Lodge to spend some weekends. I was finally able to go this weekend but sadly Ann wasn’t able to. Their lodge is situated about 8km south of Zavora beach on Tsene Lagoa and just over the dune from the ocean. It is secluded, peaceful, and breathtakingly beautiful, in addition to the fact the John and Yvette are the warmest people on earth and amazing cooks. They treated us like their own children and we enjoyed a weekend of relaxing and just taking in the view, watching rugby, swimming in the ocean, playing with their dogs, riding their horses, and snorkeling! It was my first time snorkeling and I loved it. I saw yellow fish with black stripes, orange fish with a white fin, yellow fish with a black dot, and many beautiful plants.
This is the view from our front door of Tsene Lagoa. Lagoa Poelela is over the first ridge in the distance and the Indian Ocean is over the dunes to the right.
