GOOD FENCES - Daniel Goes Diving

Following on from yesterday’s post when we finished by arriving at Monfort Cottages at Lake Malawi,  today we were taking Daniel, my grandson from there to his first diving lesson and dive and I will show you the area of this little village by the lake and how Judith my daughter and Annika, my granddaughter put in our time waiting for him to complete the dive.

Daniel is 11 years old, is checking his equipment and getting into his wetsuits.  He and his Dad have negative buoyancy and so it is easier for them to stay under water.

Area at the Scuba centre where later we would have our lunch and below a view from inside the centre.

This employee gets the boat ready and the equipment all on board.

While we waited for Daniel to be put through his paces in readiness for his dive, Judith and I relaxed and I took these shots of the beautiful beach.  

It looks like ‘it is a dog’s life’ here!

Further along the beach these women were doing their washing.

This is Daniel i now ready with his instructor and they board the boat.

 Daniel boards the boat.

Judith, Annika and myself went to explore the little village and look for somewhere to have a seat with a view and some refreshment.

I think we will give this one a miss!!

These next few shots are of a place that was not open as it was not yet completed however they let us in to look around and it certainly would be a lovely place to stay. The little cabins accommodate 2-3 people.

With a view like this it was not difficult to spend a couple of hours here while Daniel was diving.

Both restaurants looks quite good but was no on the sea side of the street. Certainly the flowers were gorgeous.

Off we went further up this only street and of course Annika could not resist looking at all the stalls.  

This was the place we decided to have refreshments and indeed it was a lovely choice and they even had books, magazines and games to play.

I hope you made this journey with me and enjoyed seeing how the day panned out for us.  Daniel’s instructor said he was a natural and we would be obringing him back the next day to continue his course.  So join me tomorrow.
